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 ...

A pontoon boat presents a special challenge in docking: It puts multiple keels in the water, and thus resists pivoting. The wide, flat sides catch the wind, compounding your handling headache. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

Recently, Universal Hydrogen and Hartzell Propeller showed significant progress toward hydrogen fuel cell-powered flight. The two companies collaborated to alter a De Havilland Dash 8 testbed, ...

The NTSB has issued Safety Alert SA091 due to recent multiengine aircraft accidents linked to single-engine power loss and pilots' improper management of the propeller on the affected engine. A key ...
