For these tests, researchers chose to mount the 10-foot-long aluminum wing upside down, adding weights to apply stress. The upside-down orientation allows gravity to simulate the lift a wing would ...

The purported virtue of the elliptical wing was that, theoretically at least, it would generate the least possible lift-dependent, or induced, drag. Induced drag is the drag incurred by the mere ...

Lift is generated by the wings and they have changed a lot in the last 100 years. Let's see how they work. Take a look inside the Bombardier wing facility in Belfast and find out how an aeroplane ...

Blended wing aircraft are basically flying wings, where the cargo-carrying section of aircraft is shorter, wider, and produces lift. This layout can be used to increase the aircraft’s internal ...
