AN INCREDIBLE blended wing plane design from the future that could revolutionise air travel is now one step closer to reality ...

Any wing that generates lift also generates some drag, but this can be minimized through careful wing design. By making the wings longer and narrower, and thus higher in aspect ratio, the wing tip ...

Most aircraft have a body designed with low drag, and wings designed to provide lift. Lifting body aircraft focus the body design on providing that lift and often have no real wing to the design ...

EPFL researchers have designed flexible, batlike wings that boost lift and improve flight performance. This innovation could lead to more efficient drones or energy-harvesting technologies.

Lift is generated by the wings and they have ... Engineers are always looking at ways to make planes more efficient and wing design is one of the most important ways of achieving this.

Unlike birds and insects, bats have flexible wings made of a thin membrane, allowing them to fly more efficiently. Inspired ...

The Fan-in-wing (FIW) concept combines an embedded lift fan with a blended wing body design, enabling the aircraft to take ...
