China’s emerging 6th-generation stealth aircraft, designated J-36, has now appeared in public photography twice. The first ...
Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying on rigid flaps and heavy hydraulics. The key is a family of “metals with ...
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 ...
Airplanes don't need their wings to be symmetrical to take to the skies. At first, planes were designed with perpendicular wings to the plane's fuselage because every flying creature in nature ...
The Breakthrough Laminar Aircraft Demonstrator in Europe (BLADE) project is part of the Clean Sky Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft (SWFA) programme, an extensive, 50% European Union-funded, multi-partner ...
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 ...
Making the wings on passenger jets thinner and longer can go a long way toward reducing drag and making them more efficient, but they vibrate like crazy. Engineers at NASA and Boeing are now tackling ...
At the root of the wingtip extension, a semi-aeroelastic hinge is triggered in cases of strong turbulence. Credit: Airbus/Fixion/Dreamstime/MMS One of the principles ...
