GKN Aerospace announced that it has delivered the first FTE for Airbus’ ”Wing of tomorrow” research programme from its global technology centre (GTC) in Bristol. This builds upon the successful ...
Figure 1: Low-amplitude mosquito kinematics. Our simulations of forces, torques, power expenditure and flow fields show great consistency, with the aerodynamic features being entirely robust to the ...
Airbus is working to reach the design freeze for the largest A350 variant, the -1000, in the middle of this year and has revealed that the stretched aircraft will feature a slightly larger wing the ...
RALEIGH – The leading edges of aircraft wings have to meet a very demanding set of characteristics. New research shows that a combination of steel composite metal foam (CMF) and epoxy resin has more ...
The first airplane ever flown, the Wright Flyer, used "wing-warping," in which pulleys twisted the trailing edge of the airfoil for roll control. Ironically, NASA is now revisiting that tech in a way ...
The combed-teeth structure of Siemens’ new low-noise DinoTail aerodynamic blade add-on mimics an owl wing’s trailing edge fringe. For comparison, an un-combed blade is shown on the left. Following ...
[Avionics Today 11-7-2014] NASA believes its current ongoing green aviation project is one step closer to developing technology that could make future airliners quieter and more fuel efficient. The ...
