- The dawn of the jet age: the first 10 years
One of the ironies of aviation history is that the most obvious potential power source for a fixed-wing aircraft was barely considered by the early pioneers. - Airflow simulation for winglets
Embraer engineers used CFD to visualize flow patterns around wings for a design retrofit. - Aircraft-engine-mounting analysis
Engineers from Honeywell adapted a rapid analysis approach to develop and validate a complex propulsion system. - Reshaping F-16 production
Following its contract with the Joint Strike Fighter program, Lockheed Martin is reconfiguring its F-16 assembly line in preparation for long-term JSF production starting later this year.
