Sonex Aircraft has unveiled its first high-wing, single-engine, piston-powered aircraft design, expanding its product range into a larger market. The new high-wing model, a five-year "pet project," ...

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 ...

Evolution has done a pretty good job of producing efficient wings in birds and insects. In particular, natural wings tend to be quite flexible and this allows animals to generate lift and thrust with ...

Airliners have looked largely the same for a long time now. The ongoing hunt for efficiency gains has seen the development of winglets, drag reducing films, and all manner of little aerodynamic tricks ...

NASA is developing a stiletto-like plane wing that's so long and thin that it needs a truss to hold it up. The longer, thinner, and lighter truss-braced wing, as it is called, is aimed at making ...

Novel wing designs can make aircraft lighter. Wings of this type were tested in Göttingen. Focus: Aeronautics, digitalisation Future aircraft need to be lighter and hence more fuel-efficient. For this ...

A new wing made from hundreds of tiny components designed by NASA and MIT promises a paradigm shift in efficiency compared with older designs. In the near future, aircraft could look substantially ...
