A new type of passenger plane will adopt a design that blends wings into the aircraft's body, which its creators say will cut ...

The plane, known as Kona, would complement Nolinor's fleet of Boeing 737-200 freighters, all of which are at least 40 years ...

The exact airfoil shape of a wing has a massive effect on the performance and efficiency of an aircraft and will be selected based on the intended flight envelope. If you’re moving beyond foam ...

LAS VEGAS — A novel passenger jet could take to the skies in the next five years that has a completely different shape than any currently flying. The plane uses a "blended wing" design ...

For supersonic flight, the nose was hydraulically lifted, streamlining the plane's shape and allowing it to efficiently pierce the air. It's a classic aerodynamic problem: most wing shapes that ...

An airplane's wing is designed to create lift, but ice and snow can change the wing's shape. If you ever been delayed for de-icing, you'll be happy to know that it makes takeoff possible in wintry ...
