Aurora Flight Sciences is quietly turning a radical research sketch into metal, bolting on 30 ft wings that will help prove whether a jet can steer with air instead of moving parts. The X-65, built ...

It'll fly instead using Active Flow Control (AFC), using a series of nozzle arrays along the wings connected to a pressurized air system, capable of blowing controlled bursts of air that can directly ...

Boeing subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences has won a US defence contract to develop an experimental aircraft that can fly without traditional control surfaces like rudders, flaps and ailerons. The US ...
