What separates an airfoil from a flat sheet of paper or balsa wood is the shape of its nose. Once a flat sheet’s angle of attack exceeds a few degrees, it stalls.

If you’re moving beyond foam board wings, 3D printing is an excellent way to create an accurate airfoil, and [Tom Stanton] provides us with an excellent guide to modeling wing sections for easy ...

I logged in to OpenAI.com and asked to speak to ChatGPT. It presented me with a box where I could insert a question. I began with the most basic of all aeronautical questions: How does a wing ...

Let's build an airplane that has no definite fuselage. An rc flying wing, some people call it zagi wing, but it's the same.

An airfoil’s stall behavior in turbulent flow and at abrupt pitch rates (i.e., the “dynamic stall”) is significantly different from the “standard” explanation of stalls.

This laminar short bubble remains attached to the airfoil until the AOA is increased to a critical value. Credit: Pete Reynolds, “Learjet Stall Development,” Learjet Corp., 1990 ...
