Operational testing and evaluation has started on a method of dynamically balancing aircraft propellers that works continuously during flight and reduces direct operating and lifecycle costs.

The high-efficiency aerodynamic and aeroacoustic optimization framework comprises the following key modules: 1) Shape parameterization, which transforms the baseline geometry into a set of design ...

When you picture a propeller-driven aircraft, you probably imagine a single engine plane with the propeller spinning at the front. There's a good reason for that, as the front-facing design has proven ...
