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 ...

DARPA's X-65, that replaces conventional aircraft flight controls with puffs of air, is coming together at Boeing subsidiary Aurora’s Bridgeport, West Virginia facility. The fuselage is taking shape ...

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.

Alternative fuels, hybrid propulsion systems, and all-electric propulsion are seen as the main pathways to achieve net zero flying operations. However, there could be another way that's based almost ...

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 ...

United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) aims to be one of the first U.S. commercial carriers to fly passengers on a futuristic blended wing body ("BWB") aircraft, thanks to its investment in startup JetZero, ...

If you've ever studied older military aircraft like the North American F-86 Sabre jet, you may have noticed that many of them had flat metal plates, known as wing fences, on the wings. While these ...

Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X7 eVTOL successfully completes stable wing transition, pioneering a novel fan-in-wing design for hybrid aircraft. Horizon Aircraft has announced a significant milestone ...

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 ...
