The exact airfoil shape of a wing has a massive effect on the performance and efficiency of an aircraft and will be selected based on the intended flight envelope. If you’re moving beyond foam ...

Blended wing aircraft are basically flying wings, where the cargo-carrying section of aircraft is shorter, wider, and produces lift. This layout can be used to increase the aircraft’s internal ...

A higher aspect ratio, characterized by long, narrow wings, usually denotes gliders or other high-performance aircraft.

Aeroelasticity is a critical field of study in aerospace engineering that examines the interaction between aerodynamic forces and structural flexibility in aircraft wings. As aircraft designs ...

The new technology is intended to give pilots more situational awareness so they can fly in contested environments.

A new type of passenger plane will adopt a design that blends wings into the aircraft's body, which its creators say will cut fuel consumption by 50% and reduce noise. LAS VEGAS — A novel ...
