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 ...

Russian researchers are testing a wing surface modification with vortex generators aimed at reducing the risk of airflow separation and stall at high angles of attack. The work is being conducted at ...

Although one of the diagnostic features of mammals is the hair they sport, the typical description of a bat's wing usually includes the term "leathery." In contrast to the rest of their bodies, the ...

“A compressor stall is a situation of abnormal airflow resulting from a stall of the aerofoils within the compressor. Stall is found in dynamic compressors, particularly axial compressors, as used in ...

“Singing” wings could reduce the number of fatal small plane crashes, Australian research suggests, and may even lead to a new generation of smaller-winged, more fuel-efficient aircraft. The new ...

Credit: NASA I wrote on the topic of ice-contaminated tailplane stall a while back and apparently did not understand the problem. It is now years later and I still feel the same as I did then. I ...

New air traffic control audio reveals the final, frantic moments of a Michigan jet pilot crying "Stall recovery!" before the fatal crash. Listen to the tragic recording.

When it comes to all the various forms of motorsports, aerodynamics is a topic of constant debate. That is, until you get to drifting. To spark some talk before the 2018 Formula DRIFT Season starts — ...
