NASA and Boeing are pausing the development of the X-66 full-scale Sustainable Flight Demonstrator. Instead, they will re-focus their efforts on demonstrating the benefits of thin-wing technology.

The Blended Wing Body (BWB) concept represents a transformative shift in aircraft design, merging the wing and fuselage into a single, continuous lifting surface. This integration offers substantial ...

Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin’s decision to build a hybrid tilt-wing technology demonstrator is a significant step forward for eVTOL aircraft. We are in a unique position to say this, as Dufour ...

Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, unveiled Wednesday “its plan to build, test and fly a hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing demonstrator (HEX / VTOL) with a tilt-wing configuration,” ...

Longer, thinner wings are on the horizon as NASA and Boeing continue to research what the future of aviation could look like ...

American space agency NASA and aircraft maker Boeing have been researching longer and thinner wing designs, they are now ready to share the results.

Fredericks believes transitioning flight doesn't need to be that complex. An aero-driven tilt-wing aircraft would have freely-tilting wings with propellers attached, weight-biased to have the wings ...

We've seen various vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicle designs in the past. From contraptions that feature no wings to air taxis with massive propellers, there are many options to choose from ...

Leonardo successfully demonstrated innovative wingtip and morphing winglet technology on a C-27J Spartan military transport aircraft. This advanced technology allows wing elements to change shape ...

While Airbus expects its next narrowbody jet will have a traditional tube-and-wing configuration, it has not abandoned the idea of an eventual blended-wing-body (BWB) design for a larger jet. That is ...

With over 350,000 Wing deliveries completed to customers’ homes across three continents, we’re learning so much from our partners and the customers who receive our drone deliveries. Today we offer the ...
