Helicopter anti-torque system using fuselage strakes [PDF]
The improvement of the helicopter torque control system is discussed. At low to medium forward speeds helicopter performance is limited by the effectiveness of the means for counteracting main rotor torque and controlling sideslip airloads.

Hydrogen‐powered aviation offers a transformative pathway to zero‐emission flight by eliminating in‐flight CO2 emissions. Key considerations include propulsion systems (fuel cells and hydrogen combustion), cryogenic storage and insulation challenges, infrastructure and cost barriers, and supply‐chain constraints.

Leveraging spinning‐induced localized suction, the spinner device enables ultra‐efficient removal of kidney stone fragments, capturing a larger quantity of fragments from distances exceeding 20 mm. The spinner significantly improves the efficiency and effectiveness of stone fragment removal by reducing operative time, increasing stone‐free rates, and ...
