NASA Uses Wind Tunnel to Test Advanced Air Mobility Aircraft Wing
NASA Uses Wind Tunnel to Test Advanced Air Mobility Aircraft Wing NASA has been testing a scale model wing for an advanced air mobility aircraft called a “tiltwing” to improve its design and performance. The tiltwing allows the aircraft to take off, hover, and land like a helicopter or fly like a fixed-wing airplane, enabling […]

What Is Aerodynamics? (Grades K-4)
What Is Aerodynamics? (Grades K-4) Aerodynamics is the study of how air moves around objects, affecting their movement through the air. The four forces of flight are lift, weight, thrust, and drag, which work together to make an object move up, down, faster, or slower. Lift is the upward force that allows an object to […]

What Is Aerodynamics? (Grades 5-8)
What Is Aerodynamics? (Grades 5-8) Aerodynamics is the study of how objects move through air, affecting everything from airplanes to rockets to kites. The four forces of flight are lift, weight, thrust, and drag, which work together to determine an object’s movement up and down, faster or slower. Lift is the upward force that allows […]
