In addition to generating lift by leading-edge vortices (as used by most insects), mosquitoes also employ trailing-edge vortices and a lift mechanism from wing rotation, which enables them to stay ...

Flaps, or more properly 'trailing edge high lift devices,' have two functions—they increase drag and enable the wing to sustain lift at a lower speed. [FLYING Magazine] Flaps, or more properly ...

“The idea is to have a wing surface that is able to change shape without classical control surfaces so that the structure — typically the trailing edge and leading edge — are not using separate parts ...

Despite the larger size and weight of the A350-1000, Airbus deliberately limited the wingspan for certification requirements. However, the trailing edge of the -1000's wing is extended to achieve ...

The FAA has opened an investigation after a section of the wing flap from a Delta Boeing 737 fell on a driveway in North ...

An eventual successor to current regional turboprops could feature a strut-braced, high-aspect-ratio composite wing with morphing leading and trailing edges, depending on the outcome of an ongoing ...

A family in Raleigh, North Carolina was in shock upon discovering a plane’s wing flap in their driveway Wednesday morning.

Trailing-edge fringes enable robust aerodynamic force production and noise suppression in an owl wing model. Bioinspiration & Biomimetics , 2023; 19 (1): 016003 DOI: 10.1088/1748-3190/ad0aa9 Cite ...
