Modern wings are mostly designed to reduce drag but also save on weight, and provide other benefits to fuel consumption for airlines.

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 two aircraft types dominate the single-aisle market segment, with multiple variants offering varied capacity and range.

Discover the revolutionary "Flying Wing" design, a cutting-edge, fuselage-less aircraft reshaping the future of aviation.

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 ...

Flying wings are rare due to practical limitations in large-scale passenger transport but show promise in niche applications such as military, UAVs, and smaller private aircraft like the Horten HX-2.

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 ...

The aircraft is similar to another concept model revealed during the 2018 Singapore Air Show, called the Star Shadow, which was developed with an unspecified Chinese institution. A new flying wing ...

The world of experimental self-built aircraft is full of oddities, but perhaps the most eye-catching of all is the JD-2 “Dyke Delta” designed and built by [John Dyke] in the 1960s. Built to copy some ...

"Blended wing" aircraft could be the future of commercial aviation. Airbus and the startups JetZero and Natilus are leading development of these efficient flying wings. The jets would burn ...
