The Skyraider II is the first US Air Force plane since the Vietnam War to have a propeller instead of a jet engine—but there are good reasons for it.

When you picture a propeller-driven aircraft, you probably imagine a single engine plane with the propeller spinning at the front. There's a good reason for that, as the front-facing design has proven ...

Horizon Aircraft, an aerospace engineering firm focusing on hybrid eVTOL aircraft, announced a strategic partnership with MT-Propeller to supply advanced propellers for its Cavorite X7 model. This ...

Hartzell Propeller received FAA certification for its Talon propeller, a three-blade, carbon-fiber propeller designed for aerobatic aircraft. Independent testing showed significant performance gains, ...

Direct aviation is empowered by Electra’s core technology—ultra-short-takeoff-and-landing using blown lift enabled by ...

Supersonic private travel for the super-rich may be up in the air. However, their need to access hard-to-reach places quickly, particularly destinations with short or no runways, is driving several ...

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 ...

Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X7 already sported a radical design, even within the wild world of hybrid eVTOLs. That design has now been updated, however, for enhanced aerodynamics, cruising performance ...
