Technical Director Jim Reed takes a look at how wind interacts with aeroplane wings, and explains how using vortex generators can increase the stall angle of a race aeroplane, thereby decreasing ...

The air in airliner cabins is typically kept very dry. It has to be, in order to stop condensation from accumulating within the plane. Unfortunately, this also dries out passengers' mucus ...

The vortex generator, however, required no big shift in technology or major manufacturing investment. Developed by the German Aerospace Centre, or DLR, the device diverts wind from vents on the ...

The Vortex wind generator is a completely different type of wind turbine design. It has no spinning blades—or any moving parts to wear out at all—and looks like a ginormous straw that ...

The dorsal fin is not just some added lateral area, It’s a vortex generator. When airplanes were small and slow, pilots could easily overcome a locked rudder.

By the end of 2021, JetBlue said it will retrofit 138 Airbus A320 aircraft with vortex generators, which reduce noise on landings.

In this paper, the group wanted to maximize the amount of wind the prototype can gather using a linear generator with spring mechanism for vortex bladeless wind turbine using the wind energy ...
