Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X7 already sported a radical design, even within the wild world of hybrid eVTOLs. That design has now been updated, however, for enhanced aerodynamics, cruising performance ...
There are a number of startups in the business of making vertical take-off and landing aircraft that have stolen the spotlight over the past few years. The one called Horizon Aircraft is not of them, ...
Together, the adaptive control algorithm and pressure reconstruction enable morphAIR to truly “feel” and “think” about how it is flying. That's as close to real bird adaptability as aircraft wings ...
China’s emerging 6th-generation stealth aircraft, designated J-36, has now appeared in public photography twice. The first ...
Why Boeing invested in such a thorough overhaul of the 777, while Airbus only lightly refreshed the A330.
American space agency NASA and aerospace giant Boeing still haven't given up on the truss-braced wing configuration (TBW) ...
Airplane designers have long admired how birds reshape their wings for soaring, diving, and maneuvering. Now, a prototype aircraft wing has demonstrated in its first flight tests that its morphing ...
The Chinese mystery aircraft might not be an actual flying asset but rather a model used to test the design’s radar characteristics. A mysterious flying-wing aircraft appeared in satellite images of a ...
Aircraft wing designers have drawn their inspiration from birds since the dawn of aviation. But engineers are still finding ways of improving design based on examples found in the ornithological world ...
