Figure 1: Low-amplitude mosquito kinematics. Our simulations of forces, torques, power expenditure and flow fields show great consistency, with the aerodynamic features being entirely robust to the ...

In this historic 1946 photo from the U.S. space agency, a semispan airplane model and flow-direction vane mounted on wing of P-51D airplane for transonic tests by wing-flow method. The National ...

It's common to see line-shaped clouds in the sky, known as contrails, trailing behind the engines of a jet airplane. What's not always visible is a vortex coming off of the tip of each wing--like two ...

Recent research demonstrated that, although most wing shapes used today create turbulent wake vortices, wing geometrics can be designed to reduce or eliminate wingtip vortices almost entirely. In the ...

In order to enhance aircraft efficiency designers are increasingly utilizing lightweight, high aspect ratio wing designs. This is because lower weight means less ...

Airbus' A340 laminar-flow “BLADE” test demonstrator aircraft (A340-300) has made its successful maiden flight for the EU-sponsored Clean Sky “Blade” project. The aircraft, dubbed “Flight Lab”, took ...

Two of the best-performing World War II fighters, a Supermarine Spitfire (left) and a North American P-51 (flying together on July 17, 2011) had wings and horizontal stabilizers of vastly different ...
