EPFL researchers have designed flexible, batlike wings that boost lift and improve flight performance. This innovation could lead to more efficient drones or energy-harvesting technologies.

aerodynamic heating. Circulation, downwash, and three-dimensional wing theory. Airfoil data, and lift and drag of aircraft components. Power required and power available. Introduction to aircraft ...

And did we mention the wings fold up so you can store it in ... It’s really fun to see how far people can push aerodynamics, and how innovative the experimental airplane scene really is.

Unsteady aerodynamic modeling has evolved from simplistic two-dimensional strip theory and three-dimensional panel methods to the more complex computational fluid dynamics (CFD), adaptable to both ...

A group of researchers in Germany created 3D printed wings inspired by the monarch butterfly. These robotic wings are ...

This package includes additional fixed aerodynamic elements like a large rear wing, front splitters, a raised hood with a Gurney lip, and lower fins. With this, the Corvette ZR1 can generate over ...
