The measurement of aerodynamic forces in shock tunnels is a critical area in high-speed aerodynamics research. In these facilities, short-duration, high-enthalpy flows pose unique challenges that ...

The two-dimensional unsteady motion of an aerofoil, situated midway between parallel walls, and moving through an inviscid, incompressible fluid, is investigated. A completely general upwash ...

In this project an attempt has been made to evaluate the use of a narrow-width moving ground facility for wind tunnel testing of racing cars. The investigation concerned boundary layer measurements ...

Scientists in Europe researching aerodynamic forces have opened up some interesting new avenues of study inspired by fish scales. This new understanding of the flow patterns over the surface of the ...

The topic unsteady aerodynamics plays a critical role in aerospace engineering, exploring the intricate dynamic nature of the aerodynamic forces and moments generated as flexible aircraft or ...

Figure 1. Illustration of unified image-based aerodynamic measurement techniques Image-based aerodynamic measurement techniques are being developed at Western Michigan University's applied ...

So for most purposes, speed is a good proxy for angle of attack.

NASA has contracted Virginia's Advanced Air Company to design and build a prototype of a new type of transition-capable eVTOL drone – a tilt-wing concept that uses aerodynamic forces instead of ...
