At first glance, the Boeing 777X may look like a stretched and modernized version of the original 777. After all, it shares the same basic fuselage shape that has made the 777 one ...

The jet's wing flex allows the aircraft to withstand challenging outside conditions while limiting disturbance for passengers onboard.

Wings are a vital part of the aerodynamic performance of aircraft. Their design has changed over the years and could change significantly in the future if truce-braced wings or blended wing bodies ...

Airbus and the startups JetZero and Natilus are leading development of these efficient flying wings. The jets would burn dramatically less fuel and feature distinctly shaped passenger cabins. Aircraft ...

Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X7 already sported a radical design, even within the wild world of hybrid eVTOLs. That design has now been updated, however, for enhanced aerodynamics, cruising performance ...

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 ...

More than a century of aviation has given us humans certain preconceptions when it comes to the machines that fly in our sky. Just take the shape of an aircraft into consideration. The simple mention ...

Like everything else around us, aviation is changing too, and it does so at a rapid pace. From new ways to power the planes to new and more efficient shapes of airplanes' bodies, the biggest players ...

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 ...

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 ...

The flying wing design is niche and rare today, but the concept has been the focus of study for 100 years. The flying wing design is intuitive but relatively rare. As the name implies, a flying wing ...

Due to changes in military strategy and technological breakthroughs, fighter jets are always evolving, with constant improvements made to radar, propulsion, and design. A notable feature developed for ...
