NASA successfully conducted the first flight of a new wing design that could pave the way for more fuel-efficient commercial aircraft. Published on NASA’s official website, the article “NASA Completes ...

The B2 Spirit looks nothing like a conventional aircraft. Rather than wings attached to a fuselage, the B2 is a single flying wing. While most people associate it with stealth, the flying wing design ...

Natilus plans to make blended wing Horizon Evo aircraft a dual decker platform that can offer more practicality while improving overall passenger experience and safety.

Like everything else around us, aviation is changing too, and it does so at a rapid pace. From new ways to power the planes to new and more efficient shapes of airplanes' bodies, the biggest players ...

Aurora Flight Sciences has finished windtunnel testing an experimental fan-in-wing design for a Pentagon X-plane competition. The Boeing subsidiary says it recently wrapped up stability and control ...

Due to changes in military strategy and technological breakthroughs, fighter jets are always evolving, with constant improvements made to radar, propulsion, and design. A notable feature developed for ...

The basic design of commercial airplanes hasn't changed much in the past 60 years. Modern airliners like the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A350 have the same general shape as the Boeing 707 and the ...

An 18-year-old from Olympia, Washington, has just taken a significant step toward transforming the way we think about aviation. Kevin Shen’s new take on oblique-wing design not only achieves a higher ...

The flying wing design is niche and rare today, but the concept has been the focus of study for 100 years. The flying wing design is intuitive but relatively rare. As the name implies, a flying wing ...

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 ...

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