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

Tiny flying robots have always faced a brutal trade-off between agility and battery life, burning through power just to stay ...

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 ...

Like everything else around us, aviation is changing too, and it does so at a rapid pace. From new ways to power the planes to new and more efficient shapes of airplanes' bodies, the biggest players ...

United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) aims to be one of the first U.S. commercial carriers to fly passengers on a futuristic blended wing body ("BWB") aircraft, thanks to its investment in startup JetZero, ...

Aurora Flight Sciences has finished windtunnel testing an experimental fan-in-wing design for a Pentagon X-plane competition. The Boeing subsidiary says it recently wrapped up stability and control ...

An 18-year-old from Olympia, Washington, has just taken a significant step toward transforming the way we think about aviation. Kevin Shen’s new take on oblique-wing design not only achieves a higher ...

NASA and Boeing are pausing the development of the X-66 full-scale Sustainable Flight Demonstrator. Instead, they will re-focus their efforts on demonstrating the benefits of thin-wing technology.

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 ...

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 ...
