During World War II, Daimler-Benz explored an unconventional fighter concept built around a massive experimental V16 engine.

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 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 ...

Dowty Propellers has signed the Master Contract for its propeller system on the MA700, covering the company’s design, development, production and in-service support for this twin-engine regional ...

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 ...

In the aviation industry, innovation is usually the name of the game. Think of the last 86 years and how the jet engine has evolved, allowing folks to traverse to the other side of the planet in hours ...

Sharrow's extraordinary looped propellers were already some 30% more efficient than traditional designs – and now the company has put two of them together into a coaxial, contra-rotating prop that ...
