Aerodynamic lift is one of the fundamental principles of flight, allowing aircraft to rise off the ground and remain airborne. Understanding how lift works is key to grasping the science behind flight ...

1. Klutz Book of Paper Airplanes Craft Kit. Although designed to appeal to kids, this fun-filled craft book will also delight any adult interested in aerodynamics.

Explore aerodynamic drag, the force that resists an object’s motion through a fluid, such as air. Whether it's an airplane ...

A series of experiments using paper airplanes reveals new aerodynamic effects, a team of scientists has discovered. Its findings enhance our understanding of flight stability and could inspire new ...

Today: new insights into the aerodynamics of paper airplanes reveal the key to smooth gliding. Drop a flat piece of paper and it will flutter and tumble through the air as it falls, but a well ...

Conversely, if you created a paper airplane less than, say, a millimeter long, the aerodynamics would change—along with the behavior of that vortex. Read This Next Inside the Worst Airline Crash ...

Home-schooled kids around the area had the opportunity to be an engineer for a day. A short presentation covering all things rocket aerodynamics led right into the constructing of the rockets.

Actually, lots of airplanes have them, Beechcraft Bonanzas and Cirruses, for example, but they don’t all look the same. Airplanes use two types of control-surface balance: aerodynamic and mass.

For power, the F-111 uses two radical TF-30 engines built by Pratt & Whitney Aircraft. At slow cruising speeds, they are turbofans similar to the engines on up-to-date jetliners, very sparing of fuel.

I made airplanes and helicopters from paper starting in about 1961 or so. Once, in 7th grade home room, the teacher was out of the room, a 2nd floor classroom in a very old building with windows ...
