The flying wing design is niche and rare today, but the concept has been the focus of study for 100 years. The flying wing design is intuitive but relatively rare. As the name implies, a flying wing ...

The triangle-shaped "blended-wing body" plane ditches the traditional tube-and-wing design for one giant, sweeping wing with the cabin built inside.

The South Korean armed forces have showcased a stealthy-shaped flying wing drone in a huge military parade in Seoul today. A small uncrewed aircraft like this could offer the country a less detectable ...

The B-21 bomber pairs cutting edge tech with a throwback aircraft design. It is based on a visionary aircraft design that dates back to World War II. That aircraft, the YB-49, minimized drag but ...

Research and data obtained during the testing of these and other experimental aircraft would lead to today’s B-2 Spirit bomber and beyond. American concerns that Great Britain might fall to Axis ...

Early aviation engineers appreciated the potential for a “flying wing” design. A flying wing, which minimizes fuselage and usually eliminates the tail, reduces many of the aerodynamic compromises ...

Experience the future of flight with the Horten HX-2, a unique flying wing aircraft from Horten Aircraft. This video explores its innovative integrated wing design, rear-mounted propeller, and ...

Normal fixed-wings set up a high threshold for drone enthusiasts. Unless you’re a pro at this, you are very likely to break your drone during landing or some other complex situations that require ...

Most air travelers today take comfort in the knowledge that when flying from place to place, the wings on their aircraft always keep their shape. But some aerospace researchers are working to do just ...

We were bumping through the clouds at Flight Level 300, unable to escape the clutches of a low, winter jet stream thanks to 167 burly souls on board and 26,000 pounds of jet-A sloshing in the tanks.

Early aviation engineers appreciated the potential for a “flying wing” design. A flying wing, which minimizes fuselage and usually eliminates the tail, reduces many of the aerodynamic compromises ...

From his youth, Jack Northrop imagined efficient all-wing aircraft so advanced that technology and power plants needed to support them efficiently were not yet available. John “Jack” Northrop was born ...
