A Hidden Challenger in 3D Rotations

A Hidden Challenger in 3D Rotations by Sonit Sahoo     Gimbal lock is a phenomenon that occurs when representing rotations in the third dimension, especially when using Euler angles, your classic (X,Y,Z). Although the term seems important, gimbal lock’s implications surround us everyday such

What is a Winglet and Why Should You Care?

Winglets are small upward-bending extensions located at the ends of commercial aircraft wings. These enhancements, which initially seemed insignificant, transformed modern aviation by boosting aerodynamic efficiency and decreasing fuel usage. These designs decrease induced drag, which are vortices created at the wingtip during flight, by
