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 ...

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 ...

Ask someone to picture an airplane and they’re likely to think of what is essentially a tube with wings and a stabilizing tail tacked onto one end of said tube. Yet it is also no secret that the lift ...

The aircraft is similar to another concept model revealed during the 2018 Singapore Air Show, called the Star Shadow, which was developed with an unspecified Chinese institution. A new flying wing ...

Air travelers in the next few years may be able to take a futuristic flight on an innovative blended-wing-body aircraft meant to help Delta Air Lines reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Delta is ...

Chinese researchers claim to have increased the safe-speed threshold for flying-wing platforms by more than 60%, a breakthrough that could be applied to the H-20 stealth bomber.

Early aviation saw both monoplanes and biplanes, with monoplanes demonstrating aerodynamic advantages through innovations like thick, cantilever wings (e.g., by Junkers and Fokker). Biplanes became ...
