Electrification is seen as having an important role to play in the fossil-free aviation of tomorrow. But electric aviation is battling a trade-off dilemma: the more energy-efficient an electric ...

The high-efficiency aerodynamic and aeroacoustic optimization framework comprises the following key modules: 1) Shape parameterization, which transforms the baseline geometry into a set of design ...

At the very crux of engineering is the desire to problem-solve, optimize, and squeeze out every bit of efficiency possible from the system being built. Aircraft design and aeronautical engineering ...

When you picture a propeller-driven aircraft, you probably imagine a single engine plane with the propeller spinning at the front. There's a good reason for that, as the front-facing design has proven ...
