NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has reached one of the final major milestones before launch. On August 21, teams sealed the observatory inside the protective fairing of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket at the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The fairing is the large protective shell that surrounds […]
Tiny Hidden Vibrations Could Make Aircraft More Fuel Efficient
New phononic subsurface designs could help control aircraft turbulence more broadly and predictably without reshaping the vehicle. At cruising speed, a passenger jet can travel around 640 mph while its wings push through turbulent air along their surfaces. That boundary layer turbulence can increase drag, making flight less efficient and requiring more fuel. Mahmoud I. […]
