Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company’s Advanced Development Programs sector is proposing a morphing wing design that can be locked into either an expanded or contracted position. Key to enabling this ...

A new type of passenger plane will adopt a design that blends wings into the aircraft's body, which its creators say will cut fuel consumption by 50% and reduce noise. When you purchase through links ...

One doesn't have to be an aviator to understand how an aircraft works. In simplistic terms, engines push it through the air, the wings provide lift, and various control surfaces like stabilizers, ...

Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying ...

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 ...

More than a century of aviation has given us humans certain preconceptions when it comes to the machines that fly in our sky. Just take the shape of an aircraft into consideration. The simple mention ...

A plane wing that changes shape in flight to better handle the airflow crossing it could be on the horizon thanks to a materials science advance from researchers in Stockholm. The trick involves the ...

An aircraft's takeoff speed is highly variable, determined by a complex interplay of its specific design characteristics (such as weight, wing shape, and configuration) and external environmental ...

Daher received the JEC Composites Innovation Award in the Aerospace Parts category for its “Highly Loaded Thermoplastic Wing ...
