(Phys.org)—An airplane's vortex generators, which look like small fins on its surface, improve the plane's aerodynamics similar to the way in which the dimples on a golf ball improve the ball's ...

Russian researchers are refining the wing design for a proposed short-haul aircraft with overwing-mounted engines, to increase laminar flow. Initial models of the experimental aircraft design ...

Russian researchers are testing a wing surface modification with vortex generators aimed at reducing the risk of airflow separation and stall at high angles of attack. The work is being conducted at ...

When asked as "wind power generator", many people remind me of windmill wing type rotors with huge feathers as large as several tens of meters in diameter, and indeed many windmills are used in ...
