Scientists for decades have attempted to learn more about the complex and mysterious chain of events by which tiny droplets in clouds grow large enough to begin falling toward the ground. Better ...

Airflow can be distrubed by storm systems, passing aircraft, or physical barriers. During flight, we experience this irregular movement of air as turbulence, which can interrupt your otherwise smooth ...

Armed with this information, the flight control system now has a tenth of a second to generate a force-canceling response at each wing, by deftly actuating low-inertia lift surfaces. In this way, the ...

Rising temperatures on planet Earth and climate change could mean we'll have less friendly skies. Here's why. Stream Los Angeles News for free, 24/7, wherever you are. Scientists link the warming of ...

Tackling a long-time mystery, scientists have found that the turbulent movements of air in clouds play a key role in the growth of water droplets and the initiation of rain. The research can improve ...

If you've noticed your flights feeling bumpier, you're not alone. Scientists say that increased turbulence is becoming more frequent—and it has a lot to do with our changing climate. Turbulence occurs ...

Customers may need to brace themselves for increased air turbulence while flying as severe storms and stronger jet streams driven by climate change could make bumpy rides more frequent. A ...
