So despite having been extinct for 66 million years, the pterosaurs have huge potential as the inspiration for aircraft design. Sometimes looking back can be the best way to look forward.

The Rotodyne might have looked like part helicopter, part plane, but it was actually neither. Where a helicopter uses engine power to spin a rotor blade to force air down and create lift, on a ...

If helicopters didn't have tail rotors, they would spin in circles because they need a force pushing in the opposite ...

Abstract: A lightweight dual-rotor yokeless-stator permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) equipped with end-winding heat pipe cooling system is proposed for electrified aircraft propulsion ...

This drone features a coaxial dual-rotor system for superior lift ... establishing the Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office (JCO) to coordinate layered defenses against the ...

This iconic dual-rotor helicopter has a legendary history ... and what makes this aircraft so special. From its powerful design to the insane plans, I have for it next, this is more than just ...

which will include winged VTOL UAS and single main rotor aircraft. The VTOL UAS is designed to take off and land vertically, resting on its tail like a helicopter, before transitioning to horizontal ...

Escalating geopolitical tensions and a new administration with a hawkish defense agenda have led many startups to embrace dual-use strategies ... electric-powered VTOL aircraft for critical ...
