The quest to reduce skin friction drag in supersonic flight has long focused on the turbulent boundary layer. Micro-blowing techniques show significant potential, but the pore-scale interaction ...
When a passenger aircraft crosses Mach 1, it's moving faster than sound. That shift creates shock waves around the airframe. Drag increases sharply, engines must burn far more fuel, and the familiar ...
Supersonic aircraft design has re-emerged as a focal point in aerospace research, driven by the need to develop transport solutions that are both economically viable and environmentally acceptable.
