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 says will help it select the most efficient propeller to maximise the 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
