New phononic subsurface designs could help control aircraft turbulence more broadly and predictably without reshaping the vehicle. At cruising speed, a passenger jet can travel aro...
A Distributed Micro-Roughness surface reduced aerodynamic drag by up to 43.6% in experiments run by a Japanese team using a magnetic levitation wind tunnel at the University of Toh...
Honda’s IMSA engineers don’t pay attention to a thermometer just for the brakes and engine. They also use it to adjust their aerodynamic setup.
To understand how Elon’s new car hops, glides, and sticks upside down, we need to talk about friction and force.
The wind speed doubles.A normal blade would generate 8× more power.The generator would burn out in seconds.So what actually happens?The blades pitch themselves:• 0–12 m/s: bl...
Analysis of cloud-related atmospheric effects could be an important factor in designing future wind farms The post Low-level clouds could make wind farms more efficient appeared fi...
It will go beyond the Limits of Physics. The multi-mode fan and ground sealing system acts as a downforce generator, pulling air out from beneath the vehicle. This provides enough...
Tesla's Roadster uses fans, active wings and cold gas thrusters to create grip at any speed. The post How Tesla’s Roadster fan system and thrusters are built to dominate the corner...
Of all the machines engineers try to command, few punish their masters like a missile. A guided missile tears through air whose density and behavior shift with every kilometer of a...
A patent shows a two-door Tesla with deployable active aerodynamics.
The search for ever more power in the 21st century has gone digital, but it's still all about that airflow.
NASA researchers are developing the future of flight on Mars, laying the groundwork for helicopters with the ability to fly higher and farther while conducting science on the Red P...
Four 20 kW fans, built on the heat pump’s compressor motor, suck the car onto the road with skirts, so it holds over 2 g in corners even below 50 mph. The wing actuators are borrow...
KONA and Pininfarina introduce Aria Design by Pininfarina, a new beach tennis racket that brings together sculptural elegance, aerodynamic thinking, and the energy of the game. Con...
How far can electric multirotors be pushed beyond conventional flight? An Indian-developed platform has recorded a reported 498 kmph during high-speed trials. Apollyon Dynamics has...
Migrating birds like geese and ibises often fly in a V formation. It’s a memorable sight for birdwatchers looking up into the sky. Source
A modeling and laboratory study found that longitudinal airflow reduced pantograph–catenary arc drift and carbon-electrode ablation, with stronger control at lower air pressure.
The rotating rear-wing concept has been used selectively since making its competitive debut at Monza last weekend.
We’re all familiar with standard multirotor drones, which rely on spinning propellers to generate lift and thrust. Then there are fixed-wing drones, that require a thrust of power...

It turns out the Roadster 2 both sucks and blows.
Tesla has showcased a pre-production version of its upcoming Roadster electric sports car, demonstrating airborne manoeuvres using cold-air thrusters developed with technology from...
