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

NASA and Boeing are testing longer, thinner wings that can provide a smoother plane ride while saving fuel. It’s claimed that those wings would be a revolutionary design for commercial aircraft, but ...

Aurora Flight Sciences has finished windtunnel testing an experimental fan-in-wing design for a Pentagon X-plane competition. The Boeing subsidiary says it recently wrapped up stability and control ...

NASA and Boeing tested high-aspect-ratio wings aimed at reducing drag, improving fuel efficiency and ensuring smoother, safer ...

Brig. Gen. Wickert Shares interesting insights in odcast interview. In a wide-ranging and insightful interview on Episode 147 of the TALK4 Podcast, Brigadier General Douglas “Beaker” Wickert, ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – You may one day board a plane where the wings will look very different. Future airplanes are ditching traditional wing design for something sleeker—long, thin wings braced with ...

U.S. Navy Reserve KC-130T Hercules tankers, upgraded with the new NP2000 eight-blade composite propeller system, have been cleared to refuel a wider range of aircraft across the carrier air wing. This ...

MIT and NASA researchers have developed a morphing airplane wing that goes back to the future: The entire wing bends and twists, much as the Wright brothers' Flyer 1 did more than a century ago.

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 ...

Ideally, an aircraft would be made of something reasonably strong, light, and weather resistant. Cardboard, is none of those things. But that did not stop [PeterSripol] from building an ultralight ...
