NASA will gather some of the world’s most brilliant and articulate scientific thinkers — and many students of science — next month to grapple with physics problems that vexed even the late, lauded ...

Different insects flap their wings in different manners. Understanding the variations between these modes of flight may help scientists design better and more efficient flying robots in the future.

Physics students took their lessons to new heights during the 20th Annual Trebuchet and Catapult Competition, sending softballs soaring across the stadium.

An analysis of hoverfly flight shows that wing design, not faster flapping, enables the smallest species to generate enough ...

See a mistake? Contact us. The FAA in October outlined how pilots will learn to fly powered-lift aircraft—the agency’s first new category in decades that covers vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) air ...

Scientists and engineers have completed assembly of the primary instrument for the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST, a breakthrough orbiting observatory scheduled to launch from NASA’s ...

I’ve hated flying for as long as I can remember. And then, last month, I pulled some serious Gs in an Extra 300L stunt plane with Red Bull aerobatic pilot Kevin Coleman. Earlier this year, Red Bull ...

Archer's Maker prototype has made a transition form powered-lift vertical flight to forward wing-borne flight. [Courtesy: Archer Aviation] Archer Aviation Inc. [NYSE: ACHR] said its Maker prototype ...

Shilpa Trivedi shared a collage of photos with legendary physicist HC Verma, whom she met on a flight, as she described the ...
