NASA and Boeing are pausing the development of the X-66 full-scale Sustainable Flight Demonstrator. Instead, they will re-focus their efforts on demonstrating the benefits of thin-wing technology.

Ambitiously, JetZero plans for the blended-wing-body (BWB) aircraft (called the ... of around 4,000 nautical miles (similar to the Boeing 757). Importantly, JetZero claims the aircraft will ...

Aerodynamic and structural data on the X-66 were obtained from wind tunnel tests of a 5.3%-scale model in the Transonic Unitary Plan Facility at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California.

Boeing this summer will stop developing NASA’s X-66 truss-braced-wing demonstrator aircraft and shift its focus specifically toward developing thin-wing technology that had been central to X-66 ...

Boeing will continue to study the thin-wing technology, but the aircraft project as a whole will be put on hold, Boeing and NASA said Thursday. “We have learned a lot in the past few years ...

While researching TTBW, Boeing found that it would be a better idea to focus on something called thin-wing technology, which could be incorporated into multiple aircraft configurations.

The 'blended-wing body' plane built by startup JetZero could replace United's older Boeing jets. United Airlines is investing billions of dollars in funky new aircraft, including electric air ...

A startup planemaker announced a 200-passenger "blended wing body" plane to rival Airbus and Boeing. Natilus' design aims to improve efficiency by up to 50% and offer cabin spaces unlike any today.

Also, there's nothing to keep Boeing or Airbus from switching gears and starting their own blended wing families. And then there's the perennial, let's-just-buy-the-usurper option. At any rate ...

A decision is coming within weeks from the company on where to base production of a jetliner it believes can challenge dominant Boeing and Airbus jets. NC pitched $300M in failed attempt at 4,000 ...

the B-2 Spirit flying wing. With F-35s projected to remain in service for decades to come, that leaves only limited opportunity for Boeing to secure a next-generation fighter contract. Failure to ...

“Boeing looked at six potential redesigns of the wing to increase the aircraft’s capability, settling on the 92-ft. wingspan after thousands of hours of modeling and simulation for both ...
