When many migrating birds undertake their arduous flights, they'll often arrange themselves in a V shape, but what drives ...

The TSA identified it with "high confidence" as a Beechcraft Baron 58 propeller plane being tossed around by turbulence, which caused swirly condensation clouds to form on the wing-tip vortices.

The rounded wing shape reduces wingtip vortices—spiraling air currents that normally form at the tips of wings during flight and generate considerable noise. By minimizing these vortices, owls reduce ...

The same can also be observed over C-2 and C-3 aircraft with small span wise component. Uniformity is not maintained over the C-1, mainly due to the wing tip vortices. Concept-1 has the best pressure ...

It’s not caused by air trapped between the bottom of the wings and the ground (I thought this too) but is created from wing downwash and wingtip vortices. Using it allows flight way below the true ...

“Think of spiders, which produce webs to trap insects. Flamingos are using vortices to trap animals, like brine shrimp,” lead author Victor Ortega Jiménez, from the University of ...
