Armando Collazo Garcia III got more than he expected from a graduate course he took last spring. He developed a new understanding of the physics of transonic shocks produced across a laminar flow ...
Who needs windows when you can have superefficient transonic passenger flight? That seems to be the reasoning behind Otto Aviation's Phantom 3500 jet aircraft that dumps the portholes in favor of ...
Otto Aerospace announced a flight test breakthrough, successfully validating its transonic, laminar-flow technology with a laser-powered, uncrewed drone demonstrator. This validated laminar-flow ...
Over the past two decades the non-intrusive Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) has matured from its developmental stage to a reliable whole field measurement technique for industrial aerodynamics.
Conquering laminar flow technology is “the holy grail of aviation”, as NASA would have it. Research into the concept dates all the way back to the 1930s, before the space agency even existed. Laminar ...
