Formula 1 teams have detailed their low-drag aerodynamic set-ups for this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix, in line with the traditional approach to the high-speed Monza circuit. Every year, teams tend to ...

The X-21A’s wing incorporated an extensive pattern of razor-thin slots in the upper wing surface to reduce drag. [Credit: NASA photo] If an aerospace engineer was given their choice of time periods in ...

In the Clean Aviation project, Fraunhofer researchers teamed up with partners to develop a system that causes icy spots on ...

Future wings will be designed with better aircraft fuel efficiency in mind, meaning engineers will explore every way to cut their drag. One contributor, induced drag, can be reduced by increasing the ...

Researchers at the Engineering School at Princeton University have taken inspiration from birds to improve flight performance and safety in aircraft. The researchers deployed rows of flaps to the wing ...

A European project to design a wing for a next-generation regional turboprop is closing in on the production of a series of demonstrators that will mature the underlying technologies required. Called ...

The team behind the ADIFO omnidirectional, supersonic flying saucer has designed and prototyped an interesting and unique eVTOL design with an extraordinarily quick and simple method of transitioning ...
