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 ...

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 ...

An aircraft carrier airwing’s mainstay will always be its fighter jets, through which the carrier battle group can project force and take the fight to an adversary. The U.S. Navy has the largest and ...

Alternative fuels, hybrid propulsion systems, and all-electric propulsion are seen as the main pathways to achieve net zero flying operations. However, there could be another way that's based almost ...

Making the wings on passenger jets thinner and longer can go a long way toward reducing drag and making them more efficient, but they vibrate like crazy. Engineers at NASA and Boeing are now tackling ...
