How Aircraft Tails Have Changed over Time
Fighter plane tails were dramatically reshaped after the advent of “fly-by-wire” controls, rendering the aircraft’s stability ...
Pilot-induced oscillation is a frightening aspect of pitch control of an aircraft. Numerous planes have been set into pilot-induced oscillation due to the phase lag of the human in the loop control.
Scientists are developing a new computer-aided holistic solution for the early phase of aircraft design. With knowledge from many fields, it is possible to propose the right solution for the ...
The tabs, invented by an engineering professor and flying enthusiast at Lehigh University, measure a few inches in length and weight. They rotate around an aluminum tube that is inserted into a ...
Aerodynamic modelling and flight testing remain at the forefront of aircraft design and verification, providing the essential linkage between computational simulations and real-world performance.
Pilots of Cirrus aircraft equipped with Garmin's electronic stability and protection (ESP) system and other new speed-related safety aids should be virtually immune to a variety of loss-of-control ...
Archer Aviation's Maker eVTOL prototype successfully completed a three-minute hover flight test at 35 feet, collecting data on aircraft stability. The flight test included maneuvers like "chirps" ...
"Self-learning" software could enable damaged aircraft to be flown to a safe landing NASA has completed evaluation flights of a revolutionary "self-learning" flight control system that could enable ...
On a warm summer morning at Princeton University, aerospace engineer Aimy Wissa was at the university helipad, preparing to fly a remote-controlled plane. But this wasn’t just any model aircraft.
