Making the wings on passenger jets thinner and longer can go a long way toward reducing drag and making them more efficient, but they vibrate like crazy. Engineers at NASA and Boeing are now tackling ...
The airliner you board in the future could look a lot different from today's, with longer, thinner wings that provide a smoother ride while saving fuel.
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 ...
Long, narrow wings are intended to reduce fuel consumption and increase comfort in aircraft. However, wing flutter must be ...
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 ...
In mid-2025 the aviation world marked a milestone in aerodynamics and avionics interaction. While most headlines focus on new engines, emissions, or avionics suites, NASA and Boeing made public plans ...
The Breakthrough Laminar Aircraft Demonstrator in Europe (BLADE) project is part of the Clean Sky Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft (SWFA) programme, an extensive, 50% European Union-funded, multi-partner ...
The concept of blended-wing aircraft – where fuselage and wing are all one structure – is not new. But this radical design might soon be a credible concept for airliners. In March 2025, a small ...
Natilus and SpiceJet have formed a partnership to help launch blended-wing-body (BWB) aircraft in India, with a potential ...
