CubCrafters, the Yakima-based aircraft manufacturer famous for its backcountry designs, has entered the electric aircraft race. The company has introduced a new engineering innovation called Electric ...

Slats are aerodynamic devices located on the leading edge of the aircraft's wings whose purpose is to increase lift during low-speed operations such as takeoff, initial climb, approach, and landing.

A: Flaps (and slats) increase the lift that the wing can produce at a lower speed. To keep the takeoff and landing speeds as low as possible, the design engineers include highly efficient flaps (and ...

Although an airliner's engines may be quite loud on takeoff, its wings also create a lot of wind noise when it's landing. According to a new study, the latter problem could be addressed with the ...

YAKIMA, WA, USA, June 7, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- CubCrafters, a leading designer and manufacturer of Light-Sportand Part 23 Certified aircraft, is testing a new ...

Operators of more than 300 newer Boeing 737s—including nearly half of the in-service MAXs—will be ordered to inspect slat tracks and remove parts identified as being from a batch that may not meet ...

The US Federal Aviation Administration is proposing to extend the fix to prevent leading-edge flaps from retracting during take-off on Rolls-Royce RB211-powered Boeing 747s, to the other versions of ...

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released a statement Sunday saying Boeing has informed them that some parts for the company's grounded 737 Max passenger plane, and prior model 737 Next ...

Distributed Electric Power Built Into Leading-edge Slats Has Potential To Significantly Reduce Take Off and Landing Distances With comparatively low acquisition and operational costs, ELAS is a ...
