They may not be the Blue Angels, but what a bunch of general aviation pilots lacked in speed and engine roar they made up for in numbers, with 49 pilots setting a record for formation flight. The ...

Birds are the undisputed masters of aerodynamics. No matter how many supercomputers and wind tunnels scientists throw at solving flight’s thorny calculations, they’ll never match the perfection of ...

Three jetmen have taken to the skies of southern France to join the Patrouille de France aerobatic demonstration team for a "world's first" formation flight. The breathtaking aerial performance was ...

Seeing airplanes fly in formation is an exciting experience at something like an air show, where demonstrations of a pilot’s skill and aircraft technology are on full display. But there are other ...

A pilot died in a formation flight accident, highlighting the risks of this type of flying without proper training. Formation flight requires extensive training from a skilled instructor, covering pre ...

Dassault Aviation announced that last month it came a step closer to making science fiction reality when it conducted a formation flight of the nEUROn unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) with a Rafale ...

There are few things more graceful and impressive than watching a flock of geese in flight, with their classic "V" pattern of synchronized movements. People have observed this pattern for many years ...

Two prototypes of the Turkish unmanned combat aircraft, Bayraktar Kızılelma, have successfully carried out the world’s first fully ...

If you’ve always dreamed of becoming a pilot flying with a formation team at the biggest airshow in the world, here is your chance to give it a try. If you plan to attend AirVenture in Oshkosh, ...

Predictions of flight performance in birds rely heavily on aerodynamic theory because it is difficult to measure energy consumption in flight. Fresh data leave part of the theory up in the air. Active ...
