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 aircraft is particularly susceptible to wing contamination during icy conditions.

Tiny flying robots have always faced a brutal trade-off between agility and battery life, burning through power just to stay aloft. A new wing architecture inspired by grasshoppers promises to ease ...

The W17 not only features a different mounting location for the front wing, creating a channel under the nose, it has just ...

The Boeing 777X is a massive aircraft that has folding wings, but it can't fly with them like that. Here's why the wings fold ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Blended wing aircraft could slash carbon emissions. This rendering shows a design by California-based JetZero, which aims to have ...

Airliners have looked largely the same for a long time now. The ongoing hunt for efficiency gains has seen the development of winglets, drag reducing films, and all manner of little aerodynamic tricks ...

A team of NASA researchers successfully performed a high-speed taxi test that could help ...

The Aero2 sports an unusual design that makes it instantly recognizable among other drones and crewed eVTOLs (electric vertical take-off and landing). Top-quality design requires manufacturing at the ...

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 ...
