The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force will host the DARPA Lift Challenge and Flite Fest Aug. 6-9, featuring experimental ...
To maintain straight-and-level flight, an airplane's total lift force must equal its weight. Total lift force is determined by four interrelated factors: the coefficient of lift (CL), air density, ...
A group of scientists from MSU, Frumkin Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Juelich Research Center have described the mechanism of appearance ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists in New York have predicted, observed and experimentally verified a micrometer-scale object being lifted only by a beam of laser light. Optical lifting may be useful for ...
Light has been put to work generating the same force that makes airplanes fly, a study appearing online December 5 in Nature Photonics shows. With the right design, a uniform stream of light has ...
