The flying wing design is niche and rare today, but the concept has been the focus of study for 100 years. The flying wing design is intuitive but relatively rare. As the name implies, a flying wing ...

The B-21 bomber pairs cutting edge tech with a throwback aircraft design. It is based on a visionary aircraft design that dates back to World War II. That aircraft, the YB-49, minimized drag but ...

The triangle-shaped "blended-wing body" plane ditches the traditional tube-and-wing design for one giant, sweeping wing with the cabin built inside.

The South Korean armed forces have showcased a stealthy-shaped flying wing drone in a huge military parade in Seoul today. A small uncrewed aircraft like this could offer the country a less detectable ...

In the 1940s, Jack Northrop’s flying wings were meant to revolutionize aviation - sleek, fast, and efficient. But innovation ...

Ask anyone what an airplane looks like and most will tell you a tube with wings. NASA researchers are trying to expand that image. They’re testing a design for a flying wing, called a blended wing ...

Early aviation engineers appreciated the potential for a “flying wing” design. A flying wing, which minimizes fuselage and usually eliminates the tail, reduces many of the aerodynamic compromises ...

About a year ago the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) introduced to the world the companies that were tasked with working on something called the AdvaNced airCraft Infrastructure-Less ...

Nobody thinks that the present design of planes is definitive. One who has revolutionary ideas about the next step is brainy, energetic John Knudsen Northrop. He thinks the tail ought to come off: he ...

Longer, thinner wings are on the horizon as NASA and Boeing continue to research what the future of aviation could look like ...

Normal fixed-wings set up a high threshold for drone enthusiasts. Unless you’re a pro at this, you are very likely to break your drone during landing or some other complex situations that require ...

Liu Chang isn’t your typical airline pilot. The 24-year-old from Harbin, in northeast China, trained in biology, doesn’t have a driver’s license, and cannot legally fly a small Cessna. But in November ...
