Sentences with phrase «airfoil wing»

The force coefficients generated by the wing are «about two to three times greater than a static airfoil wing used for large airplanes,» said Kamal Viswanath, a co-author who was a graduate research assistant working with Tafti when the work was performed and is now a research engineer at the U.S. Naval Research Lab's Laboratories for Computational Physics and Fluid Dynamics.

Not exact matches

Inflatable airfoil A study for a lightweight airfoil, or wing.
Do you know that for an airfoil lift, the air across the top of a conventional airfoil experiences constricted flow lines and increased air speed relative to the wing.
Shape of main wings, namely airfoil, produces lift force, thanks to aerodynamic interaction with air, and achieves commensurate energy efficiency.
Such high - efficiency energy conversion dictates the use of lift - type turbine blades, similar to airplane wings, of twisted and tapered airfoil shapes.
The airfoil — that web of fabric between the legs of a wing - suited birdman — sometimes provides lift but mostly delays the fall.
Among aerodynamically lifted aircraft, most fall in the category of fixed - wing aircraft, where horizontal airfoils produce lift, by profiting from airflow patterns determined by Bernoulli's equation and, to some extent, the Coanda effect.
One of the subjects they gently froze in time is the common green darner, a voracious and speedy predator whose wing veins serve as airfoils.
Hotz explains that the wing's «elastic airfoil can morph continuously to reduce drag, increase stall angle, and reduce vibration control flutter.»

Its active rear wing works both as an airfoil and an air brake.
At the rear NOVITEC offers a few options when it comes to a rear wing, either you put three small sections of carbon fiber onto the original duck tail style rear section, or you opt for the high rear wing which is available in a single airfoil or as a double wing, just like on the Aventador.
All GTC Series wings feature an aerodynamic 3D designed airfoil shape to obtain the optimal balance of downforce.
The airfoil shape of the wing causes air to move faster over the top of the wing than below, resulting in an upward lift from the slower moving air beneath the wing.
