As anyone who's ever belly flopped off a high dive can tell you, when you hit a fluid without giving it time to get out of the way, it tends to hit back. Divers beat physics by taking a more streamlined plunge,
A working orbiter was built to test the aerodynamic design, but not to go into outer space. The orbiter was called the Enterprise after the "Star Trek" starship. The Enterprise flew numerous flight and landing tests, where it was launched from a Boeing 747 and glided to a landing at ...
de, da, dr not sure how to do it. Thanks, any help will be gretly appreciated. 테마복사 function xdot = STOL_EOM(t,x) % STOL_EOM contains the nonlinear equations of motion for a rigid airplane. % (NOTE: The aerodynamic model is linear.) global e1 e2 e3 rho m g S b ...
If you find yourself on a flight that has yet to be upgraded (E175 and select 737 aircraft), you’ll still have Gogo ATG4 basic inflight internet that does the job for checking emails, social media, and a bit of browsing. However, select 737-9 MAX aircraft and all Q400 aircraft used...
Multirotor: This term can be used to describe any aircraft that has multiple rotors. Octocopter: A UAV that has eight motors/propellers. Quadcopter: A UAV that has four motors/propellers. Tricopter: A UAV that has three motors/propellers. Propulsion ESC: Stands for “Electronic Speed Controlle...
Next, using a utility knife I’m cutting two pieces of 10 mm stick Styrofoam which will be the horizontal and the vertical stabilizers. I beveled the edges so they look better and also be a little more aerodynamic. The stabilizers will be directly glued to the back side of the fuselage ...
Aerodynamicist John Stack sketched out his idea for a purpose-built, full-scale research aircraft capable of reaching Mach 1, the speed of sound. Ten years later Stack and a small group of engineers worked to turn this idea into a design for an actual high-speed test vehicle....
The path of every falling object is affected by how the air moves around it. Ski jumpers adjust their shape to gain a huge aerodynamic boost to their jumps. In an area with the right winds, you can do the same thing. When sprinters run with the wind at their backs, they can reach...

It's one of the only tunnels in the world that can accommodate full-size rail cars. Courtesy of RTA Key Takeaways From aircraft and cars to industrial and consumer products, wind tunnels are crucial for testing the aerodynamics of various objects, allowing for improvements in safety, ...
