Uplifting structures: the denticles are inspired by the shortfin mako shark. (Courtesy: James Weaver/Harvard University) A shark skin-inspired design can dramatically improve the lift of an aerofoil, ...

I’ve never had a lot of respect for “wind jackets” as a layer. Maybe it’s because I grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s when we called them “windbreakers,” and that term makes me think of high school track ...

Aerofoils are designed to allow aircraft to fly. The design of these is crucial to minimise drag and increase lift. The resource is designed to support teaching of key engineering concepts at both KS3 ...

Materials The Aerofoil sink is made from a single marble slab or bonded pieces of solid-surface material which is machine profiled to create the correct dimensions and surface tensions. Each Aerofoil ...
