NASA successfully conducted the first flight of a new wing design that could pave the way for more fuel-efficient commercial aircraft. Published on NASA’s official website, the article “NASA Completes ...

EU-funded researchers evaluated control techniques of air flow over aeroplane wings during supersonic flight. The optimal wing design developed should lead to important reductions in noise, emissions ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
