NASA has tested a scaled laminar-flow wing design beneath an F-15B aircraft, showing promise for reducing aerodynamic drag by up to 10%. The technology could significantly cut fuel use and emissions ...

Wings are a vital part of the aerodynamic performance of aircraft. Their design has changed over the years and could change significantly in the future if truce-braced wings or blended wing bodies ...

This figure shows the comparison of the spatial distributions of the time-averaged flow field before and after drooping the leading edge in the form of u-velocity sections. With the drooping leading ...

Small flying robots face a persistent tradeoff between endurance and complexity. Flapping-wing designs can generate thrust ...

In autumn 2024 and May 2025, the Institute of Aeroelasticity had the opportunities to conduct a ground vibration test on two flying wing gliders. As similar as the aircraft are in terms of their ...

The Boeing 777X's folding wingtips are one of the aircraft's most innovative design features.
