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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin’s decision to build a hybrid tilt-wing technology demonstrator is a significant step forward for eVTOL aircraft. We are in a unique position to say this, as Dufour ...

Boeing subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences has revealed new details about its prototype fan-in-wing aircraft and released an animation of the craft’s vertical lift rotors. The still-unnamed design is ...

The Blended Wing Body (BWB) concept represents a transformative shift in aircraft design, merging the wing and fuselage into a single, continuous lifting surface. This integration offers substantial ...

Ask someone to picture an airplane and they’re likely to think of what is essentially a tube with wings and a stabilizing tail tacked onto one end of said tube. Yet it is also no secret that the lift ...

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