Researchers used the characteristics of owl wings to inform airfoil design and significantly reduce trailing-edge noise. The team used noise calculation and analysis software to conduct a series of ...

Aeroacoustics, the study of noise generation via unsteady aerodynamic phenomena, occupies a pivotal role in the evolution of modern airfoil design. Contemporary research explores the interplay between ...

As the angle of attack is increased on a high-performance airfoil, a small amount of separation occurs near the leading edge. This separation causes the boundary layer to transition from laminar to ...

Natural laminar flow is a known means of reducing aircraft drag and energy consumption, but its practical implementation is difficult on commercial airliners that cruise at transonic speeds and ...

A creditor of Turbine Airfoil Design in Harrisburg has asked for the firm to be put under control of a court-appointed manager. Textron Financial Corp, the Rhode Island-based creditor, also wants to ...

WASHINGTON, January 18, 2022 -- Trailing-edge noise is the dominant source of sound from aeronautical and turbine engines like those in airplanes, drones, and wind turbines. Suppressing this noise ...
