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 ...

Like everything else around us, aviation is changing too, and it does so at a rapid pace. From new ways to power the planes to new and more efficient shapes of airplanes' bodies, the biggest players ...

Aurora Flight Sciences has finished windtunnel testing an experimental fan-in-wing design for a Pentagon X-plane competition. The Boeing subsidiary says it recently wrapped up stability and control ...

United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) aims to be one of the first U.S. commercial carriers to fly passengers on a futuristic blended wing body ("BWB") aircraft, thanks to its investment in startup JetZero, ...

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.

Due to changes in military strategy and technological breakthroughs, fighter jets are always evolving, with constant improvements made to radar, propulsion, and design. A notable feature developed for ...

An 18-year-old from Olympia, Washington, has just taken a significant step toward transforming the way we think about aviation. Kevin Shen’s new take on oblique-wing design not only achieves a higher ...

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 ...

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 ...
