Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X7 already sported a radical design, even within the wild world of hybrid eVTOLs. That design has now been updated, however, for enhanced aerodynamics, cruising performance ...

Wings are a vital part of the aerodynamic performance of aircraft. Their design has changed over the years and could change significantly in the future if truce-braced wings or blended wing bodies ...

DARPA's X-65, that replaces conventional aircraft flight controls with puffs of air, is coming together at Boeing subsidiary Aurora’s Bridgeport, West Virginia facility. The fuselage is taking shape ...

Today, aircraft wings are increasingly designed to prioritize stealth characteristics over raw speed—giving them a smooth, unbroken connection to the aircraft’s main fuselage. The wing of a fighter ...

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 ...

The advanced air mobility industry is currently working to produce novel aircraft ranging from air taxis to autonomous cargo drones, and all of those designs will require extensive testing—which is ...

We are taught from a very young age that aircraft generally hide fuel tanks inside their wings. That remains true, for the most part, but now that a new breed of aircraft called vertical take-off and ...

Vertical lift, fixed-wing flight: Get a look at PteroDynamics' transwing aircraft PteroDynamics shows off a drone that can transform from a quadcopter to a fixed wing aircraft while in flight.

The upcoming test campaign at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) is the culmination of the program that included ...
