When one thinks of the average airplane, odds are that propellers are part of that mental image. They've been a crucial component of airplane construction from the moment air travel found its footing ...

Distributed ducted propellers show immense potential for low-altitude aircraft, but the vast number of possible designs complicates standardized analysis. This research introduces a novel equivalent ...

At the very crux of engineering is the desire to problem-solve, optimize, and squeeze out every bit of efficiency possible from the system being built. Aircraft design and aeronautical engineering ...

The successful test flight of a radically new airplane design has given aeronautical engineers a "Wright brothers" moment. Their small aircraft had its first successful flight powered by ...

KATHMANDU, Feb 6 (Reuters) - An aircraft that crashed in Nepal last month, killing 71 people on board, had no thrust motion in its engines in the final leg of its descent, a government-appointed panel ...
