The triangle-shaped "blended-wing body" plane ditches the traditional tube-and-wing design for one giant, sweeping wing with the cabin built inside.
Airbus and the startups JetZero and Natilus are leading development of these efficient flying wings. The jets would burn dramatically less fuel and feature distinctly shaped passenger cabins. Aircraft ...
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 ...
Research and data obtained during the testing of these and other experimental aircraft would lead to today’s B-2 Spirit bomber and beyond. American concerns that Great Britain might fall to Axis ...
Longer, thinner wings are on the horizon as NASA and Boeing continue to research what the future of aviation could look like ...
China has quietly moved a key piece of its next-generation airpower from concept to reality, with the CH-7 stealthy flying wing drone completing its first flight and entering a structured test phase.
