The aviation industry is under increasing pressure to meet ambitious sustainability goals, including achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Central to this challenge is the optimization of aircraft ...

Morphing aircraft represent a paradigm shift in aerospace design, integrating adaptive structures and advanced control systems to optimise aerodynamic performance across a range of flight conditions.

This course will provide an introduction to aerodynamics and is of relevance to students interested in the aerospace concentration. Topics will include: subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic flows, and ...

Airplanes are governed by the rules of aerodynamics. It is the study of forces that act on objects in motion through the air and it explains how air moves around objects to produce the force of lift ...

A series of experiments using paper airplanes reveals new aerodynamic effects, a team of scientists has discovered. Its findings enhance our understanding of flight stability and could inspire new ...

Scientists in Europe researching aerodynamic forces have opened up some interesting new avenues of study inspired by fish scales. This new understanding of the flow patterns over the surface of the ...

There's rarely time to write about every cool science-y story that comes our way. So this year, we're once again running a special Twelve Days of Christmas series of posts, highlighting one science ...

This figure shows the comparison of the spatial distributions of the time-averaged flow field before and after drooping the leading edge in the form of u-velocity sections. With the drooping leading ...
