Last blog, John Elwell, a friend of Bob Simmons during the last five or six years of his life, shared stories from this great innovator. Here is Elwell's discussion on the planing hull: Aspect ratio ...
Modern aircraft design trends toward longer wingspans and higher aspect ratios to achieve greater aerodynamic efficiency, improved high-altitude performance, and better fuel economy. The author's ...
Martins designed new, high aspect ratio wings that have a much larger span than those in use today. Boeing has adapted that model and will build a prototype to test at NASA's Transonic Dynamics Tunnel ...
The idea takes advantage of the higher lift and lower drag you get with longer, slimmer, high aspect ratio wings – the sort you might find on an unpowered glider. A concept Boeing was testing in 2016, ...
