Membrane wings in micro air vehicles (MAVs) represent a promising avenue for enhancing aerodynamic performance in low Reynolds number regimes. These flexible lifting surfaces, inspired by natural ...

NASA successfully conducted the first flight of a new wing design that could pave the way for more fuel-efficient commercial ...

A series of experiments using paper airplanes reveals new aerodynamic effects, a team of scientists has discovered. Its findings enhance our understanding of flight stability and could inspire new ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – You may one day board a plane where the wings will look very different. Future airplanes are ditching traditional wing design for something sleeker—long, thin wings braced with ...

Ask someone to picture an airplane and they’re likely to think of what is essentially a tube with wings and a stabilizing tail tacked onto one end of said tube. Yet it is also no secret that the lift ...

If your aircraft has wing-mounted propellers, you might wonder if the airflow behind them has any influence on the wing’s aerodynamics. The simple answer is yes, most definitely. At high engine power, ...

Natilus plans to make blended wing Horizon Evo aircraft a dual decker platform that can offer more practicality while improving overall passenger experience and safety.

Scientists show a bionic approach combining features of a seagull's wing with an engineered flow control accessory, known as a Gurney flap, can greatly improve wind turbine performance. To achieve the ...
