The Phantom 3500 jet features a windowless design that reduces drag and structural weak points, burning 50% less fuel than ...

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 ...

Airplanes fly by traveling on wind flow and have specially designed ... the pressure to decrease, meaning the air pressure beneath an airplane's wings is significantly greater.

There are other ways to increase an airplane’s drag ... where the flow splits, moves aft along the underside of the wing. Counterintuitively, air approaching the wing above the stagnation ...

Banks of nozzles along the wings blast compressed air to alter the aerodynamics as necessary This aircraft will have no exterior moving parts. It'll fly instead using Active Flow Control (AFC ...

A wing’s teardrop form forces air to flow quickly over its top, creating a low-pressure area that pulls the plane up. At the same time, air pushes against the bottom of the wing, adding upward ...

Hold tight for the innovative “blended wing” airplane from JetZero ... using specialized Schlieren imaging to show air flow, has captured the shock waves as Boom’s XB-1 aircraft exceeded ...

It is generated when air flows over the wings of a plane ... Since they’re thin enough to flow off a plane when it’s not moving – or moving slowly – they can be applied to any aircraft.
