University of New South Wales researchers have created vortex generators that can reportedly reduce the operating solar module temperature by up to 2.5 C. They built two different prototypes, based on ...

Russian researchers are testing a wing surface modification with vortex generators aimed at reducing the risk of airflow separation and stall at high angles of attack. The work is being conducted at ...

Russian researchers are refining the wing design for a proposed short-haul aircraft with overwing-mounted engines, to increase laminar flow. Initial models of the experimental aircraft design ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU), New York's Hometown Airline™, today announces plans to retrofit its entire Airbus fleet with noise-reducing vortex generators. This move reflects ...

The performance of the NREL S807 airfoil is experimentally determined via wind tunnel testing. The tests are conducted at Reynolds numbers of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 10⁶, with a clean surface, with two ...

Engineers in Sweden hope to improve the efficiency of trucks by using a novel electronic vortex generator to reduce drag. Vortex generators are already widely used in the aerospace industry to enhance ...

The retrofits will leave the carrier's entire fleet of Airbus A320s and A321s with the noise-reducing devices, which divert wind from passing over ports on the wing, preventing a whistling tone during ...
