Larger and more powerful engines are making flying more efficient. These gigantic main engines take up more space on the wings of modern passenger aircraft. However, they influence the flow over the ...

In this historic 1946 photo from the U.S. space agency, a semispan airplane model and flow-direction vane mounted on wing of P-51D airplane for transonic tests by wing-flow method. The National ...

The lectures attempt to provide an overview of image-based aerodynamics measurement techniques and their applications for students and researchers. The presented materials include the research results ...

Recent research demonstrated that, although most wing shapes used today create turbulent wake vortices, wing geometrics can be designed to reduce or eliminate wingtip vortices almost entirely. In the ...
