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 ...
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 ...
The “science word of the day” is aerodynamics, and the Science Siblings used paper airplanes to explain it. Paige and Adam Jacobson recruited their friend Lincoln to demonstrate. First, they explained ...
