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 ...

Luminary Cloud has launched Shift-Wing, an AI-powered model and dataset designed to accelerate the conceptual design of advanced aircraft wings, from subsonic all the way up to transonic speeds. The ...

We are taught from a very young age that aircraft generally hide fuel tanks inside their wings. That remains true, for the most part, but now that a new breed of aircraft called vertical take-off and ...

American space agency NASA and aircraft maker Boeing have been researching longer and thinner wing designs, they are now ...

This unique blended-wing airliner promises not only to reduce fuel burn and emissions by an enormous 50% - but thanks to a new partnership, it could also be the best chance we've seen to deliver ...

The 1980s marked an era of unconventional thinking in aviation design, giving birth to groundbreaking concepts that aimed to revolutionize commercial air travel. Among these was an aircraft with a ...

Turbulence experienced by aircraft can turn a smooth flight into a bumpy one – and even have dangerous consequences. And it is all caused by the movement of air in the atmosphere. Airplanes achieve ...

While most planes use heat to melt ice that can form on the wing either before takeoff or during flight, the process is highly energy intensive and can impact engine efficiency. A new process from ...

Ever find yourself sitting in an aeroplane and marvelling at how something so heavy can just float high above the ground? For ...

Speed brakes are high-drag devices designed to help aircraft descend faster without gaining excess speed. They're especially useful when a pilot needs to increase the descent rate without shocking the ...
