Daher received the JEC Composites Innovation Award in the Aerospace Parts category for its “Highly Loaded Thermoplastic Wing ...

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

The Blended Wing Body (BWB) concept represents a transformative shift in aircraft design, merging the wing and fuselage into a single, continuous lifting surface. This integration offers substantial ...

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 ...

The latest generation of experimental aircraft is no longer chasing raw speed alone, it is trying to change how the air ...

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 ...

At the root of the wingtip extension, a semi-aeroelastic hinge is triggered in cases of strong turbulence. Credit: Airbus/Fixion/Dreamstime/MMS One of the principles ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers are using the Stampede supercomputer to design novel, fuel-efficient, wing designs for jets, and to develop tools that can help the industry build more efficient aircraft. The researchers ...

Turbulence is a common, and often harmless, part of air travel. It is caused by irregular airflow in the atmosphere and occurs when air masses moving at different speeds or directions interact, ...
