The spinning blades of wind turbines have been known to scramble the radar waves needed to track airplanes. Two European companies have partnered to apply radar-absorbing materials to wind turbines in ...

As clean as electric aircraft can be, there's still one kind of pollution they still produce: noise. Even that might go away before long, though. MIT researchers have successfully flown an ionic ...

Airbus is moving ahead with its vision of aircraft with active wing control, following successful wind tunnel tests at its facility near Bristol, England. The company is working to mimic the behavior ...

A giant new plane is being built to move wind turbines around the world. Set to revolutionise the way wind turbine parts are transported, the WindRunner is specifically built to carry wind turbine ...

Boeing and Qatar Airways have announced a five-year agreement to provide Boeing Wind Updates services for the airline to maximize in-flight operational efficiency. Boeing Wind Updates provides ...

China has reportedly started operations on its first compounded wind tunnel dedicated to low-altitude aircraft testing in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. Developed by Guangdong Aerospace Research ...

Safran Aircraft Engines and France’s national aerospace research agency ONERA have begun first wind tunnel tests with the ECOENGInE, a 1:5 scale demonstrator of the future Open Fan. The trials are at ...

Before jets and other aircraft are cleared to soar across the sky, some of their test models go through Florida State University's Polysonic Wind Tunnel. “Anything that flies needs to be tested on ...

Airfields for ultra-light aircraft are typically constructed on level ground -- and so are wind farms. However, do wind power plants generate turbulence that could endanger lightweight planes? A ...

Textron Aviation has completed initial wind tunnel testing of its new twin-engine Cessna SkyCourier turboprop. Results will provide performance and aerodynamic and structural load data to further hone ...
