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 ...
Pilots sometimes need to operate at slow speeds—during tight turns and landings, for instance—and good low-speed handling is ...
When a bird in flight lands, it performs a rapid pitch-up maneuver during the perching process to keep from overshooting the branch or telephone wire. In aerodynamics, that action produces a complex ...
NEW DELHI: A relatively smaller plane on Monday safely witnessed first hand the impact of passing through aerial turbulence caused by a bigger aircraft. An IndiGo flight winging its way from Guwahati ...
ANACORTES — Anni Brogan, president of Micro AeroDynamics, walked into the company’s hangar at the Anacortes Airport, where a 1946 single-engine aircraft sat idle. She approached the red and white ...
Although many fixed-wing aircraft can withstand similar rapid pitch-up maneuvers, a vehicle subject to this dynamic stall process is not reliably controllable. Motivated by the lack of detailed ...
