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.

In 2021, a group of scientists from China engineered the RoboFalcon—a bird-inspired flapping-wing robot with a newly engineered mechanism made to drive bat-style morphing wings capable of flight.

Chinese scientists have reportedly developed a new prototype “morphing” hypersonic vehicle that can fly faster than Mach 5 (6,174 kph). According to reports, this new technology can change shape ...

Aircraft design could be improved by learning from nature, say researchers. Did you know with a Plus subscription to Shropshire Star you get full access to our award winning journalism for the news ...

A plane wing that changes shape in flight to better handle the airflow crossing it could be on the horizon thanks to a materials science advance from researchers in Stockholm. The trick involves the ...
