At the very crux of engineering is the desire to problem-solve, optimize, and squeeze out every bit of efficiency possible from the system being built. Aircraft design and aeronautical engineering ...

When one thinks of the average airplane, odds are that propellers are part of that mental image. They've been a crucial component of airplane construction from the moment air travel found its footing ...

Distributed ducted propellers show immense potential for low-altitude aircraft, but the vast number of possible designs complicates standardized analysis. This research introduces a novel equivalent ...

Abdulghani Mohamed is a researcher at RMIT university who receives funding from a few companies for undertaking aerodynamic optimisation. The basic configuration of traditional propellers has not ...
