Well over a century after the Age of Sail gave way to coal- and oil-burning ships, climate change concerns are prompting a new look at an old technology that could once again harness wind to propel ...

Bio-inspired wind sensing using strain sensors on flexible wings could revolutionize robotic flight control strategy. Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a method to detect wind ...

AMES, Iowa – From somewhere back behind the Iowa State University Icing Research Tunnel, Rye Waldman called out to see if Hui Hu was ready for a spray of cold water. The wind tunnel was down to 10 ...

A groundbreaking study from the Institute of Science Tokyo may change the future of robotic flight control by utilizing bio-inspired wind sensing techniques. Researchers have developed a method that ...

The core advantage of a tilt‑wing in hover is that the entire wing sits inside a powerful, uniform propeller slipstream. That slipstream acts like a wind‑tunnel moving with the aircraft, smoothing out ...

For years, ostensibly scrappy anti-wind activists have waged war against Ocean Wind 1, a project by the Danish company Ørsted that would build as many as 98 wind turbines 15 miles off the coast of ...
