New metal could morph aircraft wings while flying
Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying ...
(Nanowerk News) A team of engineers has built and tested a radically new kind of airplane wing, assembled from hundreds of tiny identical pieces. The wing can change shape to control the plane’s ...
Humans have long drawn inspiration from bird wings to design mechanical ones—and now a team of mathematicians has taken this biomimicry to a new level. By 3-D-printing a variety of wing shapes, racing ...
If you've had a window seat next to the wing of an airplane, you've probably watched as flaps on the wing engage and disengage as a plane takes off and lands. That's because in each phase of flight -- ...
An analysis of hoverfly flight shows that wing design, not faster flapping, enables the smallest species to generate enough lift to fly. The study, published today in eLife as the final Version of ...
First set is nearing completion in UK and will travel to Toulouse in April for static testing to structural failure Airbus UK is approaching delivery of the first pair of wings for the A380 to ...
