Flight Testing Uncovers the Leading-Edge Stall In 1982, the Learjet flight-test team was tasked with trying to make improvements to the stall characteristics of its earlier aircraft.

Stall behavior plays a critical role in flight testing. Learn how design tweaks like stall strips and slots improve safety during early flights. The post Build, Test, Refine and Fix-Part 4: Stall ...

In this month’s How It Works, we look at the leading-edge wing cuff, a relatively simple concept designed to improve stall-spin resistance and take a bite out of GA accident numbers.

Leading-Edge Tubercles: Sinusoidal protuberances along the front edge of an airfoil that generate beneficial vortices, delaying flow separation and enhancing lift.

Other tricks include adding stall strips along a wing’s leading edge; metal "fences" running from front to back across the top of the wings; vortex generators in the form of vertical plates ...

Birds have long been our inspiration for flight, and researchers at Princeton University have found a new trick in their arsenal: covert feathers. These small feathers on top of birds’ wings … ...

Finspiration: The bumps on the leading edge of the humpback whale’s flipper give it a hydrodynamic advantage. Researchers are discovering that similar bumps could make wind turbines, fan blades ...

Increasing demanding test requirements for leading-edge chip production and packaging are driving strong growth for FormFactor to separate itself from the pack even further.

The Leading Edge Flight Academy has completed a new helicopter hangar facility at the Bend Municipal Airport, making use of a new heliport with more than 20 spots.
