You know, it’s funny how some of the most iconic designs in aviation history came […] ...

The aircraft is particularly susceptible to wing contamination during icy conditions.

The aircraft is similar to another concept model revealed during the 2018 Singapore Air Show, called the Star Shadow, which was developed with an unspecified Chinese institution. A new flying wing ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
