From a KITPLANES reader: Why do vortex generators creating turbulence help wings create lift at high angles of attack? Good question Shawn, and thanks for reading. I'm going to preface my answer with ...

Wingtip vortices are a hazardous form of wake turbulence generated by aircraft wings producing lift, capable of causing severe upsets, especially for smaller aircraft encountering those from heavier ...

Electra, the aerospace company developing hybrid-electric aircraft, conducted wind tunnel testing at the MIT Wright Brothers Wind Tunnel that confirmed its blown wing design delivers the high lift for ...
