SAN ANTONIO – If you need to get everyone outside for a little bit, why not throw in a little physics?! This Blake’s Brainiacs experiment is all about laminar flow, one of two main types of flow that ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 97, Section 1: JOURNAL OF AEROSPACE (1988), pp. 995-1019 (25 pages) Laminar flow flight experiments conducted over the past fifty years will be reviewed. The emphasis will be on ...

A discussion is given of the ongoing research related to laminar flow airfoils, nacelles, and wings where the laminar flow is maintained by a favorable pressure gradient, surface suction or a ...

The prices of arabica beans, the essence of coffee, have skyrocketed in recent years due to unfavorable weather conditions. Physicists are exploring whether better extraction could reduce the amount ...

Natural laminar flow is a known means of reducing aircraft drag and energy consumption, but its practical implementation is difficult on commercial airliners that cruise at transonic speeds and ...

The latest series of flights focused on confirming the extent of laminar flow over the Celera’s wing and fuselage. Credit: Otto Aircraft Otto Aviation has completed the first phase of testing of its ...

[Nervous System] does a lot of laser cutting, and [Jesse] shared a fascinating experimental improvement to their laser cutter that consists of a 3D-printed nozzle for cleaner cuts. You can see the ...
