Flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) are characterized by their compact size, lightweight design, and high maneuverability, making them highly practical for various applications. However, the ...

In the dynamic realm of aerospace engineering, the wind tunnel serves as a crucible of truth, where the fate of aircraft programs hangs in the balance. Recently, the Dufour Aerospace Flight Physics ...

Tiny flying robots have always faced a brutal trade-off between agility and battery life, burning through power just to stay aloft. A new wing architecture inspired by grasshoppers promises to ease ...

Lifting-line theory remains a cornerstone of aerodynamic analysis, providing a framework to predict lift distributions over finite wings through the representation of bound vortices and their trailing ...

This figure shows the comparison of the spatial distributions of the time-averaged flow field before and after drooping the leading edge in the form of u-velocity sections. With the drooping leading ...

Airliners have looked largely the same for a long time now. The ongoing hunt for efficiency gains has seen the development of winglets, drag reducing films, and all manner of little aerodynamic tricks ...

The A330neo's wing is considerably longer than the A330ceo's, while the A350's wingspan is clipped by Code E regulations.

Advanced Aircraft Company (AAC), a developer and manufacturer of distributed electric propulsion tilt-wing and multi-rotor uncrewed aircraft vehicles (UAV), today announced it has secured a contract ...

When Boeing introduced the Boeing 777X program, it was not responding to a single competitive threat or attempting to refresh ...

The basic design of commercial airplanes hasn't changed much in the past 60 years. Modern airliners like the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A350 have the same general shape as the Boeing 707 and the ...
