For supersonic flight, the nose was hydraulically lifted, streamlining the plane's shape and allowing it to efficiently pierce the air. It's a classic aerodynamic problem: most wing shapes that ...

2D shapes are flat, plane shapes. Triangles have three sides and three angles that add up to 180°. Quadrilaterals have four sides and four angles that add up to 360°. Constructing triangles ...

Following is a full transcript of the video. Wing shapes are designed to generate lift. This keeps the plane in the air. Ice and snow can build up on planes. Ice buildup can change the shape of ...

In this video Conánn considers the body, wings, wheels and frame of the plane and what shapes are needed to incorporate these elements into your design. In this video Conánn explores basic ...
