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, ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 divergent shape of blended-wing aircraft provides a blank canvas for aircraft interior designers. Photo Credit: JetZero Delta will help aircraft engineering startup JetZero design the interior of ...
