Long before engineers spun 3D models of airplanes on screens, they designed them with pencils, rulers, and plenty of patience.

As interest in small autonomous aerial vehicles and their applications continues to expand, a Utah State University aerospace engineer is offering the public a free software tool that could ...

Aircraft cabin geometry is complicated and contains many parts. ECS air supplies and returns also subject the cabin to jets that circulate air primarily through above-seat nozzles. Engineers typically ...

NASA wants its FUN3D software, the application its engineers use to design aircraft and airfoils, to run 10,000 times faster, and is asking for anyone with working knowledge of the Modern Fortran ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — In 2018, passengers onboard a flight to Australia experienced a terrifying 10-second nosedive when a vortex trailing their plane crossed into the wake of another flight. The ...

Researchers at the University of Surrey have proposed a computational approach that can provide aerodynamic drag data more ...

Researchers at Purdue University have created a turbulence model for vortex collisions that could allow aircraft engineers and designers to build aircraft more capable of handling extreme scenarios.

A USU professor created a free online 3-D design program that generates aerodynamic data for aircraft design. MachUp is available to anyone at aero.go.usu.edu. The open-source software works on any ...
