(Phys.org)—An airplane's vortex generators, which look like small fins on its surface, improve the plane's aerodynamics similar to the way in which the dimples on a golf ball improve the ball's ...

Russian researchers are refining the wing design for a proposed short-haul aircraft with overwing-mounted engines, to increase laminar flow. Initial models of the experimental aircraft design ...

Russian researchers are testing a wing surface modification with vortex generators aimed at reducing the risk of airflow separation and stall at high angles of attack. The work is being conducted at ...

ANACORTES — Anni Brogan, president of Micro AeroDynamics, walked into the company’s hangar at the Anacortes Airport, where a 1946 single-engine aircraft sat idle. She approached the red and white ...

The retrofits will leave the carrier's entire fleet of Airbus A320s and A321s with the noise-reducing devices, which divert wind from passing over ports on the wing, preventing a whistling tone during ...
