XL—an F-16 stretched with a distinctive cranked-arrow wing—entered a USAF strike-fighter competition to replace the F-111, ...

The ability of modern airplane surfaces to achieve laminar flow has been well-accepted in recent years. Obtaining the maximum benefit of laminar flow for aircraft drag reduction requires maintaining ...

SAN ANTONIO – If you need to get everyone outside for a little bit, why not throw in a little physics?! This Blake’s Brainiacs experiment is all about laminar flow, one of two main types of flow that ...

Russian researchers are exploring the use of laminar flow to improve the aerodynamic efficiency of nacelles for the planned Aviadvigatel PD-35 engine. The PD-35 is a higher-thrust evolution of the ...
