NASA has demonstrated the ability to sense a wing’s shape in flight and determine the stresses on its structure in real time, offering the possibility of improving aircraft efficiency and safety by ...
Recent research demonstrated that, although most wing shapes used today create turbulent wake vortices, wing geometrics can be designed to reduce or eliminate wingtip vortices almost entirely. In the ...
Animal morphologies reflect the cumulative effect of non-adaptive variation and time-integrated selective pressures including – but not limited to – those optimizing form for function 1. Insect wings ...
