Russian analysts are conducting tests with an Irkut MC-21-300 model with wings representative of those created with domestically-sourced composites. The research at the Central Aerohydrodynamic ...

American space agency NASA and aircraft maker Boeing have been researching longer and thinner wing designs, they are now ready to share the results.

A European research team has demonstrated the suppression of wing flutter in flight using an active control system, potentially paving the way for lighter, more flexible and efficient wings for future ...

Active flutter suppression is an increasingly critical field in aeronautical engineering, addressing the challenges posed by the dynamic aeroelastic interactions in modern flexible aircraft. As ...

Long, narrow wings are intended to reduce fuel consumption and increase comfort in aircraft. However, wing flutter must be eliminated for this to happen. The US space agency NASA and the aircraft ...

Making the wings on passenger jets thinner and longer can go a long way toward reducing drag and making them more efficient, but they vibrate like crazy. Engineers at NASA and Boeing are now tackling ...

W.E.W. Petter hired World War II veteran Wing Commander R.P. Beamont as chief test pilot to ensure the Canberra met operational needs. Beamont demanded a functional cockpit and pushed the aircraft's ...
