University of New South Wales researchers have created vortex generators that can reportedly reduce the operating solar module temperature by up to 2.5 C. They built two different prototypes, based on ...

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 ...

The retrofits will leave the carrier's entire fleet of Airbus A320s and A321s with the noise-reducing devices, which divert wind from passing over ports on the wing, preventing a whistling tone during ...

Engineers in Sweden hope to improve the efficiency of trucks by using a novel electronic vortex generator to reduce drag. Vortex generators are already widely used in the aerospace industry to enhance ...
