In sending a car-sized rotorcraft to explore Saturn's moon Titan, NASA's Dragonfly mission will undertake an unprecedented ...

It seems that locusts, the bane of farmers the world over, have served some purpose after all. With the aid of a wind tunnel and a high-speed digital video camera, scientists have captured the changes ...

Blown flaps use high-energy airflow to dramatically increase lift at low speeds, allowing aircraft to fly safely at angles ...

Aerodynamic modelling and flight testing remain at the forefront of aircraft design and verification, providing the essential linkage between computational simulations and real-world performance.

Hypotheses explaining the use of intermittent bounding and undulating flight modes in birds are considered. Existing theoretical models of intermittent flight have assumed that the animal flies at a ...

What started as a minor bike incident resulted in aerospace engineers applying their knowledge to make 18-wheelers more efficient.

Abstract: Many owl species rely on specialized plumage to mitigate their aerodynamic noise and achieve functionally-silent flight while hunting. One such plumage feature, a tattered arrangement of ...
