Experts believe turbulence will be more frequent in the coming years.

For decades, turbulence was treated as a known nuisance—unpredictable, occasionally dangerous, but broadly manageable within the design assumptions of modern aircraft. Engineers modeled it, pilots ...

You may experience more turbulence on future flights, especially transatlantic routes. Climate change has altered the jet stream and led to more unpredictable clear-air turbulence. For a safe flight, ...

The turbulent motion of a tumbling river or the outflow from a jet engine is chaotic: that is, it contains no obvious pattern. But according to a new study, regular patterns can emerge from the ...

Singapore Airlines announced it would no longer serve meals when the seatbelt light is on. This comes after a passenger died and dozens were injured on a flight because of severe turbulence. Its swift ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Aviation is possible for humans through an understanding of physics and engineering, allowing us to overcome gravity and cross long distances in a way that would have been just a dream ...
