Law of physics governs airplane evolution
Durham NC (SPX) Jul 24, 2014 - Researchers believe they now know why the supersonic trans-Atlantic Concorde aircraft went the way of the dodo - it hit an evolutionary cul-de-sac. In a new study, Adrian Bejan, professor of mechanical engineering and materials science at Duke University, shows that a law of physics he penned more than two decades ago helps explain the evolution of passenger airplanes from the small, prop ... more
