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 ...

Aircraft wake vortex dynamics encompass the study of the vortical patterns generated by an aircraft during flight, which have significant implications for aviation safety and airport capacity. These ...

Fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are huge priorities in the aviation industry – passenger airliners chew through amazing quantities of fuel. Take the Boeing 747, which guzzles somewhere ...
