Bats catch food ‘on the wing’ without touching the ground, but how do they do it? A new study by Per Henningsson at Lund University, Sweden is the first of its kind to analyse the aerodynamics ...

Test pilots simulate specific maneuvers to initiate flutter. For example, both the minimum and maximum speeds specific to the phase of flight are approached to begin the fluttering behavior.

Suppose the identical quality that renders a fighter aircraft revolutionary is also the one that keeps it from ever actually ...

Loads have a multidisciplinary character, they result from the interaction of different disciplines. In addition to aerodynamics and structural dynamics, flight mechanics and flight control are ...

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in directly measuring the aerodynamics of flying animals as they maneuver in the air. Previously, the upstroke of the wings was considered relatively ...

The FAA maintains that a pilot should not be evaluated on the ability to maneuver an airplane in slow flight while disregarding a stall warning, however. To address community feedback, the FAA ...
