A rational approach to comparing the performance of coaxial and conventional rotors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The merit, in terms of its efficiency and performance, of the twin, contrarotating coaxial rotor configuration over the more conventional single rotor system has long been a point of contention.

Geometric Sensitivity and Performance–Flow Field Coupling in Coaxial and Staggered Rotor Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Multirotor aerodynamic interference exerts a remarkable influence on the aerodynamic characteristics of distributed rotorcraft. It triggers complex flow structures and performance changes, whereas the inherent relationship between flow field characteristics and performance evolution has not yet been clarified.

Multi‐scale electrical resistivity imaging and long‐term monitoring as a tool for groundwater management

open access: yesNear Surface Geophysics, Volume 23, Issue 4, Page 310-323, August 2025.
Abstract Extensive pumping, storm floods or sea‐level rise can lead to regional and local‐scale processes of saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers. Particularly when exacerbated by the impacts of climate change, these processes can threaten freshwater resources and thus drinking water supplies and need to be prevented by investigation and ...

Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...
