A new video shows the Scaled Composites Model 437 Vanguard during its recent first flight. On August 29, 2024, Scaled Composites’ new Model 437 aircraft, named Vanguard and registered as N437VN, ...

Researchers at Purdue University have created a turbulence model for vortex collisions that could allow aircraft engineers and designers to build aircraft more capable of handling extreme scenarios.

Developed as an unmanned loyal wingman, the Model 437 performed the first flight with a cockpit and Scaled Composites’ Brian Maisler at the commands. The new Model 437 aircraft by Scaled Composites, ...

Every airplane creates wake turbulence while in flight, which results in two counter-rotating vortices trailing behind the aircraft. These vortices can affect other aircraft as it passes. According to ...

The Model 437 began as a conceptual design, based on the Model 401, exploring a multi-mission low-cost attritable aircraft. The Model 437 Vanguard is a crewed variant of the original concept powered ...

UK startup PhysicsX, founded by former Formula 1 engineering whizz Robin “Dr. Rob” Tuluie, has unveiled an AI tool that could fast-track the time it takes to design a new aircraft from months to just ...

A Kansas State University engineering design team is again one of the nation's best. The SAE Aero Design Team's model aircraft, the Purple Albatross, placed second overall in the regular class event ...

Waco Model W Aristocraft was an unconventional postwar light aircraft with innovative design, but despite strong orders, it ...

To help build aircraft that can better handle violent turbulence, researchers developed a new model that allows engineers to incorporate the physics of an entire vortex collision into their design ...

The purpose of DO-254 (formally known as RTCA/ DO-254 or ED80) is to provide guidance for the development of airborne electronic hardware. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Aviation ...
