Jean-Brice Dumont, Executive Vice President Engineering, Airbus said: The EcoPulse demonstrator is an integral part of our decarbonisation roadmap, increasing our knowledge of distributed propulsion ...

Wind-tunnel testing is crucial for Formula 1 teams to study and optimize a car's aerodynamics. Aerodynamics have become vital as regulations have emphasized downforce and airflow. This article is part ...

The eXtra Performance Wing project, launched last September, takes inspiration from nature to improve wing aerodynamics and performance that is intended to be compatible with any future aircraft ...

Wonder no moreYou hear the advice all the time from the "know-it-alls" in racing (yes, that applies to us, too): No matter how small your track or how slow your car, good aerodynamic practices can ...

Despite advances in computational fluid dynamics modeling, physical testing of cars in wind tunnels remains valuable for carmakers. That's why Mercedes opened the Sindelfingen wind tunnel in 2013, and ...

Wind tunnel facilities provide the equipment and expertise to develop and conduct tests used to characterize the aerodynamic and propulsion parameters of aircraft and vehicles. The S10 wind tunnel ...

Wind tunnels are a mainstay in automotive engineering, but what if instead of simulating the car moving down the road, you could drive it down the road? That’s the purpose of the new Catesby Tunnel in ...

Silicon Valley is renowned as the birthplace of modern computing, home to companies like Google, Apple, and Microsoft. Yet long before venture capital and social media defined the region, an older ...

A top consultant has called into question the use of computational flow dynamics (CFD) when measuring wind loads on buildings in the Middle East. Paul Freathy, managing director of wind consultant ...

We took 11 road bikes, including the S-Works Tarmac SL8, new Trek Madone, Cervélo S5, Giant Propel, Pinarello Dogma F, Van Rysel RCR Pro, Canyon Aeroad CFR and more to a wind tunnel to see which was ...

F1 wind tunnels work by blowing air over a scale model of a car to measure aerodynamic forces and optimize design. The model, typically 60% of the actual size, is placed in the tunnel and subjected to ...
