Induced drag increases as the airplane slows down and the angle ... In theory, keeping the flow of air over a wing laminar, that is, smooth and free of even very small-scale turbulence, could ...

There's a lot of talk in the automotive world about rear wings, rear spoilers, and downforce. What's the difference? How do ...

If we could see laminar flow, it would look like very thin sheets of air sliding ... aerodynamic wing design for future low- and medium-speed general aviation composite aircraft could now consider ...

When a race car’s wing is tilted at an angle (1), the air on the bottom will detach from the surface, creating turbulence ...

Officially described as a "pause," development of the thin-wing airplane is being halted in ... in the gray zone between Mach 0.8 and 1.2 where the flow of air over parts of the airframe can ...
