A team of engineers has built and tested a new kind of airplane wing, assembled from hundreds of tiny identical pieces. The wing can change shape to control the plane’s flight, and could provide a ...

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 ...

There's no denying just how critical aircraft wings are. For one, they provide storage for an aircraft's fuel that keeps it a safe distance from the cabin containing passengers and crew. This saved 80 ...

Air cargo has historically evolved through incremental change with more efficient engines, higher payload variants, and better utilisation of existing ...

Airplane takeoff speed (rotation speed) is highly variable, depending on the specific aircraft's aerodynamic design (shape, size, wing configuration, weight) and critical environmental factors like ...
