Welcome, dear reader, to a dimension where logic bends, equations fail, Bernoulli rolls in his grave, and the impossible ...
[Waalcko] fell in love with kites when he was 13 years old. He saw a NASA Para Wing kite fly and couldn’t get it out of his head. Now, years later, he shares how to build a circular foil kite ...
As the kite completes its loops ... Its current prototype is a rigid wing, multi-copter "box-wing" drone that can take off and land by itself, with no need for a launcher or ground wind.
Its whirring motors burn about four times the amount of power as a plane-like drone with rigid wings. So-called ornithopters, which have flapping wings, offer the best of both worlds. The one seen ...
They spend 75%-80% of their time in the water but mate and lay eggs on land. The short, rigid wings of penguins aid in diving, but flying is impossible for them. Steamer ducks are heavy-built ...
The Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat is a high-speed, high-buoyancy, extreme-weather craft with the primary mission of SEAL insertion/extraction and a secondary mission of marine interdiction operations.
The researchers used computational fluid dynamics simulations, including unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations ...
Such is the case when the annual Frank Mots Int'l Kite Festival, presented by IKEA and hosted by Gift of Wings, takes place in Veterans Park this weekend, Sept. 7-8. The excitement begins at 10 a ...
Several visitors suggested stopping by the Gift of Wings Kite Store to pick up a kite to fly at the park (the Lake Michigan breeze creates ideal kite-flying conditions). Several previous visitors ...
The advent of aerodynamic wings in motorsport was one of the most dramatic changes in the mid-20th century. Suddenly, it was possible to generate more grip at speed outside of altering suspension ...
