Wing flaps are movable surfaces located on the trailing edge of the wings and are typically deployed during specific phases ...

GKN Aerospace announced that it has delivered the first FTE for Airbus’ ”Wing of tomorrow” research programme from its global technology centre (GTC) in Bristol. This builds upon the successful ...

HAMBLE-LE-RICE, United Kingdom--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Production of the wing fixed trailing edge package for Airbus’ A350-1000 jetliner has begun at GE Aviation, Hamble, marking a new milestone in the ...

NASA's green aviation project is one step closer to developing technology that could make future airliners quieter and more fuel-efficient with the successful flight test of a wing surface that can ...

A new sound-suppression study provides fresh insight for airfoil design and noise control for micro-aircraft and fluid machinery. The research focused on the concept of trailing-edge noise by using ...

As part of its Advanced Air Transport Technology (AATT) Project, NASA is working on a new leading-edge wing design that aims to decrease aircraft noise while taking off and landing. When someone ...

The Adaptive Compliant Trailing Edge (ACTE) project at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center has just replaced an airplane’s aluminum flaps with a continuously bendable surface assembly that forms ...

Illustration of the airflow along an airfoil that exhibits leading-edge stall behavior. Notice the formation of a “short bubble” at a critical point along the leading edge. When the AOA is increased ...
