Aviation research, sourced & cited.
Curated index of aviation-relevant research from NASA NTRS, NTSB safety studies, FAA CAMI, and academic sources. Every record links back to its original — we don't host PDFs, we describe each paper and credit the authors. Built for cross-link with the rest of Atlas: search by topic, drill into a CFR section or airframe and see the research that bears on it.

Large Eddy Simulation of Aircraft Wake Vortices: Atmospheric Turbulence Effects
Crow instability can develop in most atmospheric turbulence levels, however, the ring vortices may not form in extremely strong turbulence cases due to strong dissipation of the vortices.

Effect of ground and ceiling planes on shape of energized wakes
Results are presented from an investigation of the structure of energized wakes in the presence of ground or ceiling planes when powered-lift devices are tested at zero and low wind tunnel velocities.

An analytical method for ditching analysis of an airborne vehicle
A simple analytical method has been introduced for aerohydrodynamic load analysis of an airborne configuration during water ditching. The method employs an aerodynamic panel code, based on linear potential flow theory, t…
