As a result, we also know that another rendering that DAPRA previously released in relation to the SPRINT effort, seen below, was an earlier version of Aurora's concept. "Aurora is designing a high ...

Aurora Flight Sciences on Oct. 8 unveiled new details of a notional operational variant of the fan-in-wing concept it is proposing for a high-speed, vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) X-Plane. The ...

Boeing subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences has revealed new details about its prototype fan-in-wing aircraft and released an animation of the craft’s vertical lift rotors. The still-unnamed design is ...

The Pentagon’s High Speed Vertical Take-Off and Landing (HSVTOL) X-plane competition will likely fund assembly of only one of two competing designs. Both Bell and Boeing subsidiary Aurora Flight ...

Testing at MIT's Wright Brothers Wind Tunnel validates that the EL9's blown lift wing design unlocks novel aviation capabilities including the ability to take off and land in 150 feet CAMBRIDGE, Mass.

The aeroacoustic analysis of high-lift airfoil systems is a critical field of research aimed at understanding and mitigating the noise generated by aircraft during takeoff and landing. High-lift ...

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 ...
