If your aircraft has wing-mounted propellers, you might wonder if the airflow behind them has any influence on the wing's aerodynamics. The simple answer is yes, most definitely.
A professional pilot must know an aircraft’s aerodynamic limitations in all phases of flight and be familiar with conditions that cause instruments to display misleading information.

Dassault has completed the critical design review of its long-range, widebody Falcon 6X and is closing in on the preliminary design of the 9X follow-on project.
David Horton began working on the Schweizer acquisition from Lockheed Martin in 2017. His private goal? Earning a rotary-wing rating. Listen in as William Garvey, editor-in-chief of BCA, discusses the process with David Horton.
The latest Garmin G3000 NX avionics package includes an emergency autoland function, essentially a virtual, digital copilot that can take control of the aircraft and land it safely.
Turbulence reports must be carefully evaluated because one citing moderate turbulence encountered by a Boeing 757 would translate into a much worse experience in a King Air. Why? In general, business aircraft are lighter and have lower wing loading than a commercial jet, and many have relatively little wing sweep, all of which increase the gust load factor and thus the amount of turbulence felt.
Back in aviation’s Golden Age, the purpose of air racing was not simply to collect trophies and headlines, but to help advance the science of aeronautics and propulsion, which it did. But does it still? I recently went to Reno, Nevada, to find out.
These graphs are designed to illustrate the performance of the Gulfstream G600 under a variety of range, payload, speed and density altitude conditions.
Faster, higher, roomier, quieter and, surprisingly, less expensive are five ways to differentiate the $60 million 6,500-nm-range G600 from the G550 in Gulfstream’s top-end product line-up.
Eurocontrol's Eduard “Eddie” Porosnicu discusses the digital NOTAM project his organization is prosecuting for the EASA's SESAR ATC modernization program.
Considering the immense importance of Eurocontrol in enabling the unimpeded flow of European aviation, it is logical that the organization would represent a target to terrorists and other malefactors.
