Eastman Jacobs transformed aviation through pioneering airfoil and wind tunnel research at NACA, helping develop laminar-flow ...

WASHINGTON, January 18, 2022 -- Trailing-edge noise is the dominant source of sound from aeronautical and turbine engines like those in airplanes, drones, and wind turbines. Suppressing this noise ...

A new sound-suppression study provides fresh insight for airfoil design and noise control for micro-aircraft and fluid machinery. The research focused on the concept of trailing-edge noise by using ...

As the angle of attack is increased on a high-performance airfoil, a small amount of separation occurs near the leading edge. This separation causes the boundary layer to transition from laminar to ...

Natural laminar flow is a known means of reducing aircraft drag and energy consumption, but its practical implementation is difficult on commercial airliners that cruise at transonic speeds and ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...
