To better understand the aerodynamic mechanisms of the wings during 3 different stages, authors used CFD methods to analyze the aerodynamic characteristics of the coupled movements of the 5 kinematic ...

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

ATLANTA — Rocketail announced it will be making its two side wings, attached to improve a trailer’s aerodynamic flow, flexible upon contact. Bren Marshell, vice president of sales for Rocketail, said ...

Researchers once wanted to build aircraft wings based on compliant systems, which would continually change shape in response to the air flow resistance, obviating the need for rigid flap and rudder ...

The objective of the European Cleansky project is to develop new technologies for future aircraft enabling a 20- 30% fuel burn reduction and related CO2 emissions and a similar reduction in noise ...

Larger and more powerful engines are making flying more efficient. These gigantic main engines take up more space on the wings of modern passenger aircraft. However, they influence the flow over the ...

Flow control techniques and aerodynamic improvements developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology could save the U.S. trucking industry hundreds of millions of gallons of fuel per year. Recent ...

Aston Martin's Valhalla supercar features a hidden front wing that retracts to direct airflow to the rear diffuser for ...
