Jet-assisted takeoff (JATO) adds a dramatic boost to aircraft performance by providing short bursts of extra thrust. This ...

The present invention overcomes this control allocation problem by using as its foundation a dynamic inversion control law for nonaffine-in-control dynamic systems that was earlier developed by Naira ...

A selling point for training operators is the G6 SR20’s engine TBO. For high-time usage (flown more than 40 hours per month), ...

Question: Some aircraft have three seats on one side of the aisle and two seats on the other side. Does this imbalance affect aircraft performance? Shouldn't the weight be distributed evenly on each ...

Morphing aircraft represent a paradigm shift in aerospace design, integrating adaptive structures and advanced control systems to optimise aerodynamic performance across a range of flight conditions.

Typically, a low-viscosity mix of glycol and water, a Type I fluid melts and washes away the ice. However, it cannot prevent ...

Tiny molecules already used to thicken everyday products like lotions and adhesives may soon help keep aircraft safe in icy ...

Takeoffs are statistically risky, primarily due to pilot planning failures, making thorough pre-takeoff planning essential for safety. Light aircraft manuals lack built-in safety margins, requiring ...

The evolution of the airplane and its performance : a short history -- Aerodynamics of the airplane : the drag polar -- Some propulsion characteristics -- The equations of motion -- Airplane ...
