The Boeing 777X is set to revolutionize long-haul air travel when it eventually enters commercial service in 2027. The US manufacturer's latest version of its incredibly popular Boeing 777 family will ...

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 ...

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 ...

Turbulence is a common, and often harmless, part of air travel. It is caused by irregular airflow in the atmosphere and ...

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. The wing of a fighter ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Wing is continuing to spread its wings. Yesterday, the women-only co-working space and social club opened the doors to its first outpost outside of Manhattan: a loft-like space in Brooklyn's Dumbo ...
