May 29, 2009 - The Stanford Aircraft Aerodynamics and Design Group will fly to France this June to pitch their vision as finalists in a design contest sponsored by aircraft manufacturer Airbus. Early science fiction writers were fond of imagining The aerodynamic forces on a circular flying structure such as a disc (or the Geobat) are quite evenly distributed and permit engineers take full advantage of that bantamweight premise. Mar 18, 2014 - Designed by the famous Lockheed Skunk Works under the direction of iconic designer Kelly Johnson, this airplane was a beautiful example of excellent supersonic aerodynamics. 6 days ago - The patent-pending Silent Falcon is a solar/electric powered, all composite and modular small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) equipped with an interchangeable wing configuration designed for commercial, public safety and defense applications both domestically and The combination of efficient aerodynamic design, lightweight composite construction and Ascent's monolithically integrated and ultra-lightweight thin film photovoltaic modules, enables the 25 lb. 49 mins ago - The sleek, aerodynamic lines of each piece are reminiscent of the aircraft, while design elements of the plane's wing tips, engine, turbine, and cockpit are translated into functional, modern form. Both passengers and pilots reported a comfortable flight – testimony to the precision and smoothness of the 7X's aerodynamic design and digital flight controls. May 14, 2014 - Dassault Aviation's Falcon 7X has set a new transatlantic speed record, flying between Teterboro in the New York metropolitan area and London City Airport at an average speed of Mach 0.88. Dassault Falcon 7X Sets New Speed Record. Lighter is almost always better when it comes to airplanes. Here, he covered the car's exterior in polyurethane-coated spandex that would shift according to the car's aerodynamic needs at the time. 4 days ago - Designer William Stout, who worked as an aircraft engineer before turning to automobiles, was a pioneer in integrating luxury and leisure into transportation. Apr 29, 2014 - A group of engineers at Aerobat Aviation has taken a fresh look at the flying disc and are creating designs that they think will revolutionize aviation and aerospace. Dec 5, 2013 - The first leg of testing is the Commercial Aircraft Level and Computational Design, which uses the NIS Kraken Supercomputer at the Oakridge National Laboratory to measure computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The 7X the 7X cruised at Mach 0.88. Apr 13, 2011 - Design verification of several fire-fighting airplanes for Air Tractor. The German auto-maker's design standbys with hard geometry and chunky body parts. Stout Air Lines is credited with introducing flight attendants and in-flight meals. May 7, 2014 - New Ideas for Greener Aircraft 7 640x480 New Ideas for Greener Aircraft The Boeing Company's advanced design concept is a variation on the extremely aerodynamic hybrid wing body.
