Wings are a vital part of the aerodynamic performance of aircraft. Their design has changed over the years and could change significantly in the future if truce-braced wings or blended wing bodies ...

DARPA's X-65, that replaces conventional aircraft flight controls with puffs of air, is coming together at Boeing subsidiary Aurora’s Bridgeport, West Virginia facility. The fuselage is taking shape ...

The advanced air mobility industry is currently working to produce novel aircraft ranging from air taxis to autonomous cargo drones, and all of those designs will require extensive testing—which is ...

The Blended Wing Body (BWB) concept represents a transformative shift in aircraft design, merging the wing and fuselage into a single, continuous lifting surface. This integration offers substantial ...

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 ...

JetZero secured $175 million in Series B funding, backed by major aviation players including United Airlines, RTX, Northrop Grumman, Delta Air Lines, and Alaska Airlines. The company is developing a ...

The upcoming test campaign at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) is the culmination of the program that included ...

We are taught from a very young age that aircraft generally hide fuel tanks inside their wings. That remains true, for the most part, but now that a new breed of aircraft called vertical take-off and ...

While Airbus expects its next narrowbody jet will have a traditional tube-and-wing configuration, it has not abandoned the idea of an eventual blended-wing-body (BWB) design for a larger jet. That is ...
