The most produced American military aircraft of World War II was not a small fighter, a trainer, or a simple utility airplane ...

We’ve probably all experimented with a very clear demonstration of the basic principles of lift: if you’re riding in a car and you put your flattened hand out the window at different angles, your hand ...

The Bot-Wing airfoil helps to smooth frontal air flow and redirects much of the “dirty” air away for a quieter, smoother and more enjoyable ride. The Bot-Wing is a logical, simple and effective add-on ...

Imagining what must have been going through the minds of the people in that TBM airplane is as gut wrenching as the final outcome was horrific. When the plane departed control, it fell like a stone.

The 777X will be a redesigned version of the 777-300ER, with extended range capability. The new design includes a swept-back airfoil wing fabricated in composite materials with increased thickness and ...

A new sound-suppression study provides fresh insight for airfoil design and noise control for micro-aircraft and fluid machinery. The research focused on the concept of trailing-edge noise by using ...

What causes lift, that upward force that keeps flying machines aloft? Perhaps in a textbook or in a book written for a general audience you've seen an illustration similar to the one shown here—the ...

As the angle of attack is increased on a high-performance airfoil, a small amount of separation occurs near the leading edge. This separation causes the boundary layer to transition from laminar to ...
