The problem of components not conforming to their claimed specification is one that must challenge engineers in all fields, including it seems, that of multi-rotors and remote controlled aircraft. A ...

Bye Aerospace has begun the next phase of flight testing on its eFlyer 2 technology demonstrator, which the US company will use to select the most efficient propeller to maximise the performance of ...

Choosing the right boat propeller can transform your time on the water, improving speed, fuel economy, and handling. From blade count to pitch, rotation, and materials, every detail impacts ...

As boring as propeller designs may seem to the average person, occasionally there’s a bit of a dust-up in the media about a ‘new’ design that promises at least a few percent improvement in performance ...

At the very crux of engineering is the desire to problem-solve, optimize, and squeeze out every bit of efficiency possible from the system being built. Aircraft design and aeronautical engineering ...

An Austrian-based company is working on a patented propulsion technology for VTOLs (vertical take-off and landing) and has recently shared the first test flight of a prototype aircraft using the ...

Russian researchers are planning to test-fly a Yakovlev Yak-40 modified with a superconducting electric motor and propeller mounted on the trijet’s nose. The Moscow-based Central Institute of Aviation ...
