(Phys.org)—An airplane's vortex generators, which look like small fins on its surface, improve the plane's aerodynamics similar to the way in which the dimples on a golf ball improve the ball's ...

Jetstar recently announced that from February 2024, new Airbus A321 planes equipped with “vortex generators” would be used over Brisbane to reduce aircraft noise, while its older A320 fleet would be ...

University of New South Wales researchers have created vortex generators that can reportedly reduce the operating solar module temperature by up to 2.5 C. They built two different prototypes, based on ...
