This paper analyzes computationally the flow field for the full geometry model of a commercial passenger airplane, Boeing747-400. The geometric dimension of an airplane was acquired by means of the reverse engineering technique adopting the photo scanning measurement. The steady three-dimensional ...
In contrast, a typical airplane provides weight support using wings and thrust using propellers or jets. The aerodynamics of flapping wings varies as a function of advance ratio (J), which is the ratio of forward translational velocity of the bird to the velocity of the wingtips (B). Shown ...
The basic aerodynamics used to make a paper airplane is very similar to the aerodynamics of a real plane. A simple piece of paper will fall down when it is dropped. But if we fold the paper in a specific manner, it will fly. There are four types of forces in physics that play import...
External aerodynamics is the study of flow around solid objects of various shapes. Evaluating the lift and drag on an airplane, the shock waves that form in front of the nose of a rocket or the flow of air over a hard drive head are examples of external aerodynamics. Internal aerodynamics ...
of the craft. Large wings usually generate a lot of lift, but they also produce a lot of drag. In designing airplane wings, engineers need to take into account such factors as the speed and altitude at which the plane will fly, so that they can find a wing shape that balances lift ...
Downward pitch applies a force to the top of the propeller; gyroscopic precession causes the airplane to yaw to the left Upward pitch applies a force to the bottom of the propeller; gyroscopic precession causes the airplane to yaw to the right ...
a stationary fluid, the science is pretty much the same as if the fluid moved and the object were still. That's why it's possible to study the aerodynamic performance of a car or an airplane in awind tunnel: blasting high-speed air around a still model of a plane or car is the ...
Due to the high velocity of the fly, the airplane has been widely developed for transportation for a long-distance journey. The advantages of flight in the sky have motivated the government to use this to fight against their enemies. Hence, various fighters have been invented that move at a...
If you love airplanes, if you enjoy flying and directing your airplane through a plethora of maneuvers, if you are a student of airmanship, then spend some time in the Gallery. You will find photos, videos and comments for your enjoyment . ...
They were specifically developed to optimize performance of a single-engine, canard airplane with the engine in front. Some are applicable to other types of airplanes. The specific improvements are: locating the canard so the main spar passes in front of the engine; mounting the front of the ...
