The wing uses several different wing design features to improve aerodynamic efficiency and reduce drag.

Aircraft wing designs have constantly been reworked over the years. From the Wright brothers mulling over the likes of aspect ratios in their bid to achieve the first flight in the early 1900s, to ...

For decades, the overall shape of a passenger aircraft has remained largely the same, with a central fuselage flanked by a pair of wings that hold the fuel tanks and, most of the time, the engines. It ...

Together, the adaptive control algorithm and pressure reconstruction enable morphAIR to truly “feel” and “think” about how it is flying. That's as close to real bird adaptability as aircraft wings ...

FARNBOROUGH, England — European plane-maker Airbus wants to extend the wings on its narrowbody A321neo, hoping to use “flight physics” to reduce the amount of fuel the aircraft burns, lowering carbon ...
