At an early preliminary design stage, wings with different aspect ratios are designed for the same basic aircraft, i.e. a combined design of aerodynamics and wing structure is carried out in each case ...

Cranfield University is in pursuit of the next big breakthrough in the aviation world. To date, virtually every plane to take flight is the traditional "tube and wing" layout. Like any modern ...

A little more than two years after JetZero revealed ambitious plans to challenge the Airbus- Boeing air transport duopoly by ...

Maturation of an all-new wing designed to deliver a 50% fuel-burn reduction as part of a future hybrid-electric regional aircraft could take place in the second half of the decade if a project led ...

JetZero, a California-based aerospace startup, is moving ahead with plans to manufacture a next-generation commercial aircraft. The company announced it will construct a massive production plant in ...

Delta Air Lines is backing a startup that wants to design more fuel-efficient, blended-wing-body aircraft in the hopes of reducing its carbon footprint and making air travel more sustainable.

PARIS - Aerospace & defense giant Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), currently trading at $479.34 with a market capitalization of $112.31 billion, announced Wednesday that testing of its C-130J Super ...

Because the three-wing structure featured a lot of surface area, it increased the plane’s aerodynamic drag. High drag, when combined with an underpowered engine, could mean a very slow aircraft.

JetZero, a blended-wing body aircraft startup, has recently secured a $235 million contract from the U.S. Air Force and major investments from United Airlines UAL and Delta Air Lines DAL.. The ...

At an early preliminary design stage, wings with different aspect ratios are designed for the same basic aircraft, i.e. a combined design of aerodynamics and wing structure is carried out in each case ...

The Enhanced Service Life center wing box, incorporated into all new C-130J aircraft since 2009, was designed to extend operational life beyond the original wing’s 45,000 Equivalent Flight Hour ...
