How NASA used the F-4 Phantom II for unusual research, from biomedical monitoring flights and monkey experiments to sonic ...

Aerodynamic admittance and turbulent flow analysis constitute a critical framework for understanding the unsteady aerodynamic forces encountered by structures in realistic wind conditions. This body ...

Butterflies' flight trajectories often appear random or chaotic, but their hovering patterns can potentially provide critical design insights for developing micro aerial vehicles with flapping wings.

Drag and lift are the forces which act on a body moving through a fluid, or on a stationary object in a flowing fluid. We call these aerodynamic forces (if the fluid is a gas) or hydrodynamic forces ...

Christina Harvey, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, uses a combination of wind tunnel studies and modeling of inertial forces to understand how birds ...
