Peek out the window on an A350 flight and you’ll see wings that bend, flex, and adapt in order to make long-haul flying smoother and more efficient.

However, winglets come with trade-offs: they add weight, increase structural stress at the wingtip, and can introduce ...

While Airbus expects its next narrowbody jet will have a traditional tube-and-wing configuration, it has not abandoned the idea of an eventual blended-wing-body (BWB) design for a larger jet. That is ...

The Blended Wing Body (BWB) concept represents a transformative shift in aircraft design, merging the wing and fuselage into a single, continuous lifting surface. This integration offers substantial ...

The Breakthrough Laminar Aircraft Demonstrator in Europe (BLADE) project is part of the Clean Sky Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft (SWFA) programme, an extensive, 50% European Union-funded, multi-partner ...

Ask someone to picture an airplane and they’re likely to think of what is essentially a tube with wings and a stabilizing tail tacked onto one end of said tube. Yet it is also no secret that the lift ...

Wing Helper is an incredible model airplane wing design tool, speeding the design process to create your flying machine faster. Disclaimer: I'm not being paid to make this video, or to recommend the ...

Lightweight, strong, and flexible, composite materials are the wave of the future.

GKN Aerospace has successfully concluded a composite manufacturing and assembly research programme using of out of autoclave (OOA) processes and materials and PI shaped woven preforms. These ...
