If planes flew in formation like wild geese they might use five to 10 percent less fuel, European aircraft maker Airbus said Wednesday as it signed up to test the idea. (techxplore.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Anyone remember the XB-70 crash ???????
That is interesting: "Jet engines meanwhile produce a vortex that contains a flow of rising air". I was taught that the vortex (wake turbulence) was a byproduct of the wing producing lift. I knew the FAA had it wrong all along ;-) Nice job of fact-checking techxplore!
Airline travel of the future -super tight separation with full automation.
If geese flew at >100 knots they wouldn't/couldn't fly in formation because of wake turbulence.

This story quacks me up!
And when they collide with one another???
