Seven astronauts, including the first Israeli in space, were lost Saturday when the space shuttle Columbia broke apart in the skies of Texas. The incident occurred at an altitude of some 200,000 feet, ...

Blown flaps use high-energy airflow to dramatically increase lift at low speeds, allowing aircraft to fly safely at angles that seem impossible. This breaks down the aerodynamics behind blown flaps, ...

The sail effect is an interesting phenomenon in cycling aerodynamics where, if the wind is coming at the bike from an angle rather than head-on, it can actually decrease the aerodynamic drag of the ...
