High-fidelity simulations of the SHM1 natural laminar flow airfoil, developed for Honda's business jet, reveal how Kutta ...

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 ...

From a KITPLANES reader: Why do vortex generators creating turbulence help wings create lift at high angles of attack? Good question Shawn, and thanks for reading. I'm going to preface my answer with ...

The aim is to make aviation in Europe climate-neutral by 2050. An important part of this is reducing the drag of future aircraft, with the wings playing a major role. The wings not only generate the ...

Aircraft morphing, especially in the case of the variable camber airfoil, has potential from the viewpoints of both fundamental aerodynamics and flight application. In the field of aerodynamics, the ...

NASA researchers are developing the future of flight on Mars, laying the groundwork for helicopters with the ability to fly ...
