It's created by the wings of an airplane, and the shape of the wing is critical; that shape is known as an airfoil. Basically ...

Ahead of the second book's launch, we spoke to MIT professor Ritu Raman, one of the lead science advisors on the series, ...

This explanation, while intuitively appealing, fails to capture what is really happening. The majority of the lift generated ...

The exact airfoil shape of a wing has a massive effect on the performance and efficiency of an aircraft and will be selected based on the intended flight envelope. If you’re moving beyond foam ...

This Hurricane Preparedness Week, Big Ass Fans wants to help residents protect themselves against the salt, sand, and storms that threaten coastal homes. That's why we made the Haiku® Coastal — a ...

FLOW Turbulence Lab., Department of Engineering Mechanics, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm SE-100 44, Sweden Thin airfoil dynamic stall at moderate Reynolds numbers is typically linked to ...

This is the source of lift on an airfoil. Lift is defined as the force acting on an airfoil due to its motion, in a direction normal to the direction of motion. Likewise, drag on an airfoil is defined ...

National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is using robots to trim, grind, and sand turbine wind turbine blades in its ...

Researchers have successfully leveraged robotic assistance in the manufacture of wind turbine blades, allowing for the elimination of difficult working conditions for humans and the potential to ...
