Typically, a low-viscosity mix of glycol and water, a Type I fluid melts and washes away the ice. However, it cannot prevent ...

Tiny molecules already used to thicken everyday products like lotions and adhesives may soon help keep aircraft safe in icy ...

The C-17’s fly-by-wire system is central to its short-field performance. Unlike traditional mechanical controls, fly-by-wire ...

In avionics, the integration of advanced sensor technologies is revolutionizing aircraft safety and performance. Two key innovations driving this trend are engine vibration diagnostics and “smart ...

The present invention overcomes this control allocation problem by using as its foundation a dynamic inversion control law for nonaffine-in-control dynamic systems that was earlier developed by Naira ...

Pilots sometimes need to operate at slow speeds—during tight turns and landings, for instance—and good low-speed handling is ...

Morphing aircraft represent a paradigm shift in aerospace design, integrating adaptive structures and advanced control systems to optimise aerodynamic performance across a range of flight conditions.

With icing still a prevalent threat to air transport, a European-funded project has been exploring hybrid detection of ice build-up through a combination of new sensor technology and analysis of ...

Nanotechnology alters material properties by manipulating structures at the nanoscale (typically less than 100 nanometers), resulting in a high surface-to-volume ratio and quantum size effects. 3 ...
