Humanity has long been obsessed with heavier-than-air flight, and to this day it remains a topic that is shrouded in a bit of ...

What is an airfoil? Contextually speaking, it’s the shape of an airplane’s wing. In the face of pressure differences acting upon their surfaces, airfoils produce a useful aerodynamic reaction ...

You see these on Formula 1 race cars, where unbanked racetracks make grip on corners critical to success: Lots of airfoils working together in the rear wing: Typical F1 down-force distribution ...

Research into “compact engine core” designs have focused on the durability of high-pressure turbine airfoils, toward more robust and fuel-efficient commercial jet engines. GE Aerospace reports recent ...
