Another pioneering feature of Boeing’s YC-14 was the use of a supercritical airfoil, developed by NASA’s Richard Whitcomb. This wing design reduced transonic drag by up to 30 percent compared ...

A numerical method based on the vortex methodology is presented in order to obtain unsteady solution of the aerodynamic coefficients of a thin airfoil in either compressible ... (Soviero and Ribeiro, ...

At any rate, the twin-engined Phantom 3500 is projected to have a passenger range of 3,200 nautical miles (3,682 miles, 5,926 km) and a cruise altitude of 51,000 ft (15, 545 m) with targeted costs ...

NASA and Boeing have effectively cancelled the X-66 Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW) concept demonstrator aircraft. Officially described as a "pause," development of the thin-wing airplane is ...

Stage one FTS is saved. Stage one entry burn shut down. Stage 2 FTS is saved. Stage one Transonic. Stage one landing burn. Stage 2 terminal guidance. Stage one landing like deploy. Stage one ...

Painted all white and designed to study airflow behavior during transonic flight, the X-4 was flown by Capt. Chuck Yeager as well as other USAF/NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics ...

The pact, as per Azad Engineering, is for the manufacture and supply of highly engineered and complex rotating and stationary airfoils for advanced nuclear, industrial and thermal power industries ...

Currently, when establishing the continuous-traverse mode force measurement test technique in a one-meter-scale sub-transonic and supersonic wind tunnel, the maximum Mach number control deviation ...

Abstract: Airfoil shear probes are instruments used to measure the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate in the ocean. The cantilever beams and piezoelectric ceramics sheets are core components of ...

Azad Engineering, a precision engineering firm, has signed a USD 53.5 million contract with GE Vernova's Steam Power Services for the supply of airfoils for nuclear and thermal power industries.

NASA has selected Boeing to lead the development of a full-scale Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW) demonstrator aircraft. The technologies tested as part of the Sustainable Flight Demonstrator (SFD) ...
