Born from General Dynamics’ SCAMP effort, the F-16XL transformed the Falcon with a cranked-arrow delta wing, added fuel, and up to 27 weapon stations—aimed at deep-strike parity with the F-111.

While the video above may look like an optical illusion, it is actually reducible to the very basics of physics. Aptly named after laminae (thin layers or plates), a laminar flow occurs when the ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 97, Section 1: JOURNAL OF AEROSPACE (1988), pp. 995-1019 (25 pages) Laminar flow flight experiments conducted over the past fifty years will be reviewed. The emphasis will be on ...

A discussion is given of the ongoing research related to laminar flow airfoils, nacelles, and wings where the laminar flow is maintained by a favorable pressure gradient, surface suction or a ...

Airbus intends to later this month start flight-testing an A340 that has been fitted with experimental laminar-flow wing sections under a partially EU-funded technology project with other industrial ...

Russian researchers are exploring the use of laminar flow to improve the aerodynamic efficiency of nacelles for the planned Aviadvigatel PD-35 engine. The PD-35 is a higher-thrust evolution of the ...

The flow of all fluids, whether liquid or gas, will have one of three states: laminar, turbulent, and transitional. This article discusses flow principles and pressure-based flow measurement. Laminar ...

Until now it had been assumed that, once a flow of a fluid has become turbulent, turbulence would persist. Researchers have now shown that this is not the case. In their experiments they managed to ...
