The exact airfoil shape of a wing has a massive effect on the performance and efficiency of an aircraft and will be selected based on the intended flight envelope. If you’re moving beyond foam board ...

SAN ANTONIO — Columbia investigators obtained their first direct evidence in a test Friday that foam debris caused the space shuttle accident: a foam block fired at a wing panel left a three-inch ...

A chunk of foam fired at high speed cracked a pair of space shuttle wing parts Friday, offering what investigators said was the most powerful evidence yet to support the theory that a piece of the ...

A few months ago, [Tom] built a few RC planes. The first was completely 3D printed, but the resulting print — and plane — came in a bit overweight, making it a terrible plane. The second plane was a ...

A CHUNK of foam fired by an air cannon slammed into the fibreglass wing panels on the space shuttle prototype Enterprise last week. The impact opened a gap 56 centimetres long between panels, lending ...

The high-velocity impact of foam on the leading edge of a space shuttle wing causes serious damage, initial tests have revealed. The results were released by the Columbia Accident Investigation Board ...
