website. The presentation includes several new FLY-R projects such as the R2-HSTD. The aerodynamics formula of the rhomboidal wing is a technology breakthrough and was largely proven by FLY-R on its ...

A scissor wing configuration, consisting of four adjustable wing surfaces, is compared with a comparable fixed wing baseline configuration. Wave drag, induced drag, viscous drag, thrust required, and ...

Flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) are characterized by their compact size, lightweight design, and high maneuverability, making them highly practical for various applications. However, the ...

As he hovered 50 feet above the runway in Plattsburgh, New York, Kyle Clark suddenly had a distinct sinking feeling. A literal one. He had full control just moments before, but his electric, ...

Aerodynamic analysis of the Chinese-Russian long-haul CRAIC CR929 twinjet is progressing, with windtunnel tests to examine wing designs for the type. Models of the CR929 have undergone windtunnel ...

In an article I wrote in the Aug. '09 issue about race car aerodynamics, I basically said that wings on a Sprint Car are a joke. I say that because what you may think the wings are doing, and what ...

The first on-track appearances of the F1 2026 cars have already highlighted one of the most fascinating technical challenges ...

It's common to see line-shaped clouds in the sky, known as contrails, trailing behind the engines of a jet airplane. What's not always visible is a vortex coming off of the tip of each wing--like two ...

Can the Boeing 777X take off without its wingtips extended? It is a question that continues to circulate across aviation forums, social media, and even airport spotting communities, largely because ...

Advanced Aircraft Company (AAC), a developer and manufacturer of distributed electric propulsion tilt-wing and multi-rotor uncrewed aircraft vehicles (UAV), today announced it has secured a contract ...

Maturation of an all-new wing designed to deliver a 50% fuel-burn reduction as part of a future hybrid-electric regional aircraft could take place in the second half of the decade if a project led by ...
