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 ...

Let's build an airplane that has no definite fuselage. An rc flying wing, some people call it zagi wing but it's the same, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

As a result of these challenges, most flying wing projects and prototypes never take-off, literally or figuratively. In fact, ...

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 ...

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 ...

The unusual "flying wing" concept has won $100,000 in NASA funding to trying becoming a reality for future passenger jet travel. The supersonic, bidirectional flying wing idea comes from a team headed ...
