Researchers have formulated a mathematical solution that could help minimize noise, maximize aerodynamics in design of porous airfoils (2-D wings) to improve wind turbines and air vehicles. Many ...

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 ...

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 ...

ATLANTA. Trailer aero specialist Rocketail now offers a new “contact response hinge” to its Wings system, an always-deployed aircraft style wing design with multi-level airflows that requires no ...

The flying wing design is niche and rare today, but the concept has been the focus of study for 100 years. The flying wing design is intuitive but relatively rare. As the name implies, a flying wing ...

Taking a cue from birds and insects, researchers have come up with a new wing design for small drones that helps them fly more efficiently and makes them more robust to atmospheric turbulence.

How NASA used the F-104 Starfighter's razor-thin wing to explore supersonic handling, shuttle approaches, and X-15 support.

NASA has contracted Virginia's Advanced Air Company to design and build a prototype of a new type of transition-capable eVTOL drone – a tilt-wing concept that uses aerodynamic forces instead of ...

OK, I'll admit it: The title to this story is an outright lie. For some of the articles I've written previously, the "All About..." heading seemed like a good way to encapsulate the basic, ...

Many species of owl are able to hunt without being heard by their prey by suppressing the noise of their wings at sound frequencies above 1.6 kilohertz (kHz) -- including the range at which human ...
