Explore a unique RAM effect vehicle and discover how an experimental wing design could change low altitude aircraft ...

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 ...

A team from MIT and NASA led by Neil Gershenfeld is developing a new type of "morphing" wing that rather than using conventional flaps, changes its shape. This new wing is made up of overlapping ...

A new wing made from hundreds of tiny components designed by NASA and MIT promises a paradigm shift in efficiency compared with older designs. In the near future, aircraft could look substantially ...

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 ...

Novel wing designs can make aircraft lighter. Wings of this type were tested in Göttingen. Focus: Aeronautics, digitalisation Future aircraft need to be lighter and hence more fuel-efficient. For this ...
