The propeller — a relic from the dawn of powered flight more than a century ago — is making a comeback as an emblem of aviation’s greener future. Rotors are proliferating on futuristic air taxis and ...

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 ...

If you have ever observed a propeller plane closely, you might have noticed the propeller is slightly angled to the right. The angled engine and propeller can seem jarring, considering symmetry is ...

The high-efficiency aerodynamic and aeroacoustic optimization framework comprises the following key modules: 1) Shape parameterization, which transforms the baseline geometry into a set of design ...

Could the secret to transforming propeller design lie in the dimples of a golf ball? It might sound far-fetched, but the same aerodynamic principles that allow a golf ball to soar farther and faster ...
