The triangle-shaped "blended-wing body" plane ditches the traditional tube-and-wing design for one giant, sweeping wing with the cabin built inside.
Today, aircraft wings are increasingly designed to prioritize stealth characteristics over raw speed—giving them a smooth, unbroken connection to the aircraft’s main fuselage. The wing of a fighter ...
NASA's green aviation project is one step closer to developing technology that could make future airliners quieter and more fuel-efficient with the successful flight test of a wing surface that can ...
There is a revolution happening in aviation, and it's taking place at such a rapid pace that the industry may be completely unrecognizable a couple of decades from now. From new means of propulsion to ...
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – You may one day board a plane where the wings will look very different. Future airplanes are ditching traditional wing design for something sleeker—long, thin wings braced with ...
Morphing aircraft represent a paradigm shift in aerospace design, integrating adaptive structures and advanced control systems to optimise aerodynamic performance across a range of flight conditions.
