Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying ...
The nature-inspired metal material could enable shape-shifting wings that adjust themselves for smoother flight.
The latest generation of experimental aircraft is no longer chasing raw speed alone, it is trying to change how the air ...
A plane wing that changes shape in flight to better handle the airflow crossing it could be on the horizon thanks to a materials science advance from researchers in Stockholm. The trick involves the ...
Two prototypes of a wing that changes shape radically in flight will undergo structural and aerodynamic testing in July and August by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa). These ...
MIT and NASA researchers have developed a morphing airplane wing that goes back to the future: The entire wing bends and twists, much as the Wright brothers' Flyer 1 did more than a century ago.
