The lowest airspeed (stall speed) for most fixed-wing aircraft is primarily determined by its wing loading and the wing's maximum lift coefficient. Claims of extremely low or "no" stall speeds, often ...

A normalized lift coefficient indicator has been developed for single-engine aircraft. The system developed incorporates a low-cost capacitance type pressure transducer and an electronic circuit to ...

“I always use flaps for climb. I get more lift that way.” Some would call this statement perfectly logical, because flaps do increase lift and increased lift certainly ought to make an airplane climb ...

Late Model Racecraft, out of Houston, Texas, recently had just such an opportunity to harness the air- and brain-power of GM's world-class wind tunnel facility-properly known as the Aero Lab-for a ...
