NASA completed the first flight test of a scale-model wing designed to improve laminar flow, reducing drag and lowering fuel ...

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 ...

NASA is developing a new type of wing that can save commercial airlines billions of dollars every year and early tests look ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Wings experiencing large flow disturbances often experience massive flow separation resulting in shear layers and the formation of strong vortices. These vortices typically lead to large ...

Formula 1 is entering another new era in 2026 with significant changes.
