How Are Modern Aircraft Wings Designed?

Today, aircraft wings are increasingly designed to prioritize stealth characteristics over raw speed—giving them a smooth, unbroken connection to the aircraft’s main fuselage.
American space agency NASA and aircraft maker Boeing have been researching longer and thinner wing designs, they are now ...
Evolution has done a pretty good job of producing efficient wings in birds and insects. In particular, natural wings tend to be quite flexible and this allows animals to generate lift and thrust with ...
A team that has created a supersonic jet design resembling a flying shuriken has been awarded a US$100, 000 grant from NASA’s Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program to continue development of the ...
NASA is developing a stiletto-like plane wing that's so long and thin that it needs a truss to hold it up. The longer, thinner, and lighter truss-braced wing, as it is called, is aimed at making ...
Turbulence is a common, and often harmless, part of air travel. It is caused by irregular airflow in the atmosphere and ...
The triangle-shaped "blended-wing body" plane ditches the traditional tube-and-wing design for one giant, sweeping wing with ...
