With additive manufacturing, used to build this heat exchanger, one key is to do prototyping for the part and then see whether additive or subtractive manufacturing is the better choice of manufacture ...

Engineers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have proposed reshaping heavy vehicles such as semi-trucks to be more aerodynamic. This new continuous design could significantly reduce ...

Truck makers and their supply base largely shield research and development from the public (and especially competitors) until they have confidence in both the technology and the marketplace potential.

Next time you see a semi truck on the road, take a moment to appreciate that NASA had a hand in developing its design. In 1973, aerospace engineer Edwin J. Saltzman was biking to work at NASA's Dryden ...

Electric Class 8 vehicles have the potential to revolutionize the freight transportation industry, offering zero emissions and significant fuel savings for a cleaner and more sustainable future.

Why do available renderings of sixth-generation fighter aircraft show fewer vertical structures, fins or protruding configurations? Are scientists, engineers and expert weapons developers uncovering ...

Advanced studies in aerodynamics may spark a shift in streamliner design. Flat out land speed racing is a whole different world requiring special attention to the subject of aerodynamics to be a ...
