Flapping-wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) are characterized by their compact size, lightweight design, and high maneuverability, making them highly practical for various applications. However, the ...

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 ...

What if urban air taxis could, like birds, vary the configuration of their wings in flight? The answer to such questions could soon become reality through morphing wing technology assisted by ...

The eXtra Performance Wing project, launched last September, takes inspiration from nature to improve wing aerodynamics and performance that is intended to be compatible with any future aircraft ...

An aircraft's takeoff (rotation) speed is highly variable, determined by a complex interplay of factors including its weight, aerodynamic design (especially wing shape and configuration), and current ...

Maturation of an all-new wing designed to deliver a 50% fuel-burn reduction as part of a future hybrid-electric regional aircraft could take place in the second half of the decade if a project led by ...

Can the Boeing 777X take off without its wingtips extended? It is a question that continues to circulate across aviation forums, social media, and even airport spotting communities, largely because ...

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.

Advanced Aircraft Company (AAC), a developer and manufacturer of distributed electric propulsion tilt-wing and multi-rotor uncrewed aircraft vehicles (UAV), today announced it has secured a contract ...
