Aircraft wing

Design to Fly: Balsa Gliders: Use basic materials like pencils, paper, scissors, ruler, etc. (and maybe some high-tech tools!) to design and test your own balsa glider. Use the files provided to cut a glider body on a laser cutter, plotter or even a blade. Now, experiment with w…

The difference between wing dihedral and anhedral affects an airplane's horizontal stability and maneuverability characteristics. Learn more about these two wing design configurations.

The previous discussions on wings have dealt only with airfoil section properties and two dimensional airflow. Wing planform - the shape of the wing as viewed from directly above - deals with airflow in three dimensions, and is very important to understanding wing performance and airplane flight

Spring has officially arrived. I don’t need the budding trees or the warmer temperatures to tell me – I can tell just by the chatter of birds that has returned, kicking into high gear as soon as the sky begins to lighten each morning.

Winglets help lessen the wind vortexes which normally form at the tip of an airplane wing during flight.

Did you know that...?🤔 Aircraft wings can be constructed in multiple ways. The most common types are: straight, trapezoidal, elliptical, arrow, delta and ogival (or arched) wings. The different designs give certain flight characteristics. Veronte Autopilot can be easily configured to enable fully automatic control of all types of wing and control surface combinations, also with vertical take-off (VTOL) configurations.🛠️🛩️ #Embention #Drone #Autopilot #uam #uav #aam

Washout in airplane wing design is a critical design feature that prevents dangerous stall situations. Learn why it's part of wing design and why it's important.
