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 ...

EPFL researchers have designed flexible, batlike wings that boost lift and improve flight performance. This innovation could ...

Humans don't have hollow bones like birds do, so how big would our wings have to be to lift us off the ground?

Foiling should be getting a whole lot easier yet also more exciting, according to Lift Foils. The Puerto Rican company has ...

Authorities at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport say a Japan Airlines plane that was taxiing on the tarmac apparently ...

An airplane's wing is designed to create lift, but ice and snow can change the wing's shape. If you ever been delayed for de-icing, you'll be happy to know that it makes takeoff possible in wintry ...

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 ...

Aurora is designing a demonstrator X-plane using fan-in-wing technology that will provide vertical lift for US airborne ...

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