The W17 not only features a different mounting location for the front wing, creating a channel under the nose, it has just ...

Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X7 already sported a radical design, even within the wild world of hybrid eVTOLs. That design has now been updated, however, for enhanced aerodynamics, cruising performance ...

The aircraft is particularly susceptible to wing contamination during icy conditions.

Researchers from the University of Michigan have developed 3D morphing wings they believe could help small aircraft safely navigate windy urban streets. The wing design could also help aircraft land ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Blended wing aircraft could slash carbon emissions. This rendering shows a design by California-based JetZero, which aims to have ...

A team of NASA researchers successfully performed a high-speed taxi test that could help ...

Airliners have looked largely the same for a long time now. The ongoing hunt for efficiency gains has seen the development of winglets, drag reducing films, and all manner of little aerodynamic tricks ...

Tiny flying robots have always faced a brutal trade-off between agility and battery life, burning through power just to stay aloft. A new wing architecture inspired by grasshoppers promises to ease ...

Early aviation engineers appreciated the potential for a “flying wing” design. A flying wing, which minimizes fuselage and usually eliminates the tail, reduces many of the aerodynamic compromises ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Back in January, Boeing flew its fancy new widebody aircraft for ...
