rc airplanes are a bit misunderstood by people who think they are toys, they are little marvels of engineering, the perfect balance, the right components, the aerodynamics, and so much more... Here is ...

Steerprop will deliver its new Contra-Rotating Propeller (CRP) azimuth propulsions to Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven GmbH for a new research vessel being built for the German Aerospace Center (DLR).

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 ...

This is our first balsa wood kit, really proud and excited to announce the new Tanár, a kit for beginners but also for whoever wants to have some fun with a balsa wood rc plane like this. We have been ...

It's fairly common knowledge that when a supersonic aircraft approaches the sound barrier, what follows is the sonic boom. This transitory period between subsonic and supersonic, known as transonic ...

Abstract: In contra-rotating propeller systems, the rear propeller can use the eddy current generated by the front propeller to convert it into useful power, thus improving the energy efficiency of ...

Douglas Aircraft Company extensively pursued an unconventional aircraft design in the mid-1940s, characterized by multiple buried engines, long drive shafts, and an aft-mounted pusher propeller. This ...

A civilian contract employee who was killed when she walked into the moving propeller of an unmanned aircraft at a Southern California airfield in September lost "situational awareness" before the ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Writing about vertical flight aircraft & advanced aviation technology. The EHang 184 electric VTOL aircraft has two ...

It’s a rare occasion when a piece of engineering transcends its pure industrial function and becomes art. And it’s even rarer when that metamorphosis is the byproduct of a quest for better performance ...
