Boeing integrated multiple failsafes into the flight systems to prevent such an occurrence. If the wingtips are not extended ...

What causes lift, that upward force that keeps flying machines aloft? Perhaps in a textbook or in a book written for a general audience you've seen an illustration similar to the one shown here—the ...

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 ...

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 ...
