New research from Australia has shown that vortex generators and glass texturing have so far proved to be the most effective solutions among the novel methods explored for lowering the temperature of ...

Inspired by the sleek and efficient propulsion of squid, jellyfish and other cephalopods, a University of Colorado at Boulder researcher has designed a new generation of compact vortex generators that ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Lufthansa has taken delivery of its first Airbus A320 with vortex generators, which will reduce the noise produced by aircraft during its final approach by up to two decibels. Lufthansa said it is the ...

BOULDER, Colo., Dec. 12 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers, inspired by squid, jellyfish and other cephalopods, have designed compact vortex generators for scientists to use under water. The University of ...
