Birds have been found to fly in a V formation to synchronize their wingbeats and optimize the aerodynamic lift they can get from upwash, the upward flow of air at the front edge of a wing. Using ...

To get an airplane airborne or climbing in flight, its wings must produce more lift than the total weight of the aircraft. One popular explanation for how this happens is based on Bernoulli's ...

Not all superheroes wear capes, but many do, and it’s a long-established fact that these capes are crucial when it comes to flying around town to fight crime and brood and whatnot. And yet the people ...

High-lift aerodynamic prediction plays a crucial role in optimizing aircraft performance during takeoff and landing. Yet, capturing the intricacies of boundary layer separation, wake formation, and ...

Hypersonic vehicles, which flight at Mach numbers lager than five (flight velocity more than 6000 km/h), will serve as a more convenient and efficient transport tool than present subsonic airplanes ...
