When you picture a propeller-driven aircraft, you probably imagine a single engine plane with the propeller spinning at the front. There's a good reason for that, as the front-facing design has proven ...

The propeller — a relic from the dawn of powered flight more than a century ago — is making a comeback as an emblem of aviation’s greener future. Rotors are proliferating on futuristic air taxis and ...

The high-efficiency aerodynamic and aeroacoustic optimization framework comprises the following key modules: 1) Shape parameterization, which transforms the baseline geometry into a set of design ...

If you have ever observed a propeller plane closely, you might have noticed the propeller is slightly angled to the right. The angled engine and propeller can seem jarring, considering symmetry is ...

Could the secret to transforming propeller design lie in the dimples of a golf ball? It might sound far-fetched, but the same aerodynamic principles that allow a golf ball to soar farther and faster ...
