Researchers at the DLR Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology are able to measure complex flow phenomena such as those that occur on helicopter rotors, and to evaluate the resulting data ...

LARAMIE — As a boy, Dimitri Mavriplis built model airplanes and became knowledgeable about the industry through his father, Fotis, who was manager of the aerodynamics department at Bombardier ...

Although helicopter aerodynamics involves the same forces that arise in airplane aerodynamics, these forces occur differently due to fluid flow dynamics across the aircraft. Helicopters take advantage ...

Helicopters can deliver military troops or rescue the wounded in tight spaces, but their rotating blade design also puts a hard limit on their speed and maneuverability. Now researchers have begun ...

High-speed helicopters don't have to be fuel-draining sound machines. A new rotorcraft design was presented by Airbus Helicopters at the Paris Air Show this week, and Airbus claims it can reach a ...

For about 76 years, helicopters have served the world as an important alternative to fixed-wing aircraft. Helicopters can go places and do things that airplanes cannot, like save mariners stuck at sea ...
