The following question, "How does an airfoil create lift?" comes from Ms. Gillespie's class. I love watching airplanes take off at the airport. I think it’s an amazing feat of human engineering that ...

Without the aerodynamic forces of lift and drag, aircraft would be unable to fly, wind turbines would not spin, and countless other machines that we depend on every day would not work. What, exactly, ...

We’ve probably all experimented with a very clear demonstration of the basic principles of lift: if you’re riding in a car and you put your flattened hand out the window at different angles, your hand ...

The aim is to make aviation in Europe climate-neutral by 2050. An important part of this is reducing the drag of future aircraft, with the wings playing a major role. The wings not only generate the ...

The aeroacoustic analysis of high-lift airfoil systems is a critical field of research aimed at understanding and mitigating the noise generated by aircraft during takeoff and landing. High-lift ...

Without the aerodynamic forces of lift and drag, aircraft would be unable to fly, wind turbines would not spin, and countless other machines that we depend on every day would not work. What, exactly, ...
