Researchers used the characteristics of owl wings to inform airfoil design and significantly reduce trailing-edge noise. The team used noise calculation and analysis software to conduct a series of ...

GKN Aerospace announced that it has delivered the first FTE for Airbus’ ”Wing of tomorrow” research programme from its global technology centre (GTC) in Bristol. This builds upon the successful ...

Much is made of the ability of crossover narrowbody jets to bring right-sizing to many airlines’ routes. The trip costs are clearly advantageous when a route does not have the capacity to fill enough ...

Illustration of the airflow along an airfoil that exhibits leading-edge stall behavior. Notice the formation of a “short bubble” at a critical point along the leading edge. When the AOA is increased ...
