He built a glider with a curved wing to generate lift. Then he ordered his coachman into it and had farmworkers pull it down a slope until it gained enough speed to fly. Control, alas, was lacking.

Aviation startup JetZero announced that its blended wing body aircraft demonstrator will be powered by Pratt & Whitney PW2040 ...

Following is a full transcript of the video. Wing shapes are designed to generate lift. This keeps the plane in the air. Ice and snow can build up on planes. Ice buildup can change the shape of ...

But fret not; these 'miniature wings' need not be smoothed and ... to even the upper part of the aircraft wings, generating essential lift as compensation. With these strakes, the aircraft can ...

Stall speed is the minimum speed needed by an aircraft to generate enough lift to keep it aloft. Additionally, ice on the wings can break off in flight, potentially damaging one or more of the ...

When early aviators the Wright Brothers started experimenting with designs, their first wings were short and stubby. After tests failed to generate as much lift as they'd hoped, they went back to ...

and making sure your parts are strong enough to deal with the force they’re generating. This build from [Engineering After Hours] delivers on those fronts, consisting of a high-downforce wing ...

WCC siphons air going through the jet engine and blows it at supersonic speeds over the back of the wing, generating lift and eliminating the need for mechanically movable surfaces to direct airflow.
