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 lead to more efficient drones or energy-harvesting technologies.

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 ...
