Taking a cue from birds and insects, researchers have come up with a new wing design for small drones that helps them fly more efficiently and makes them more robust to atmospheric turbulence.

Sonex Aircraft has unveiled its first high-wing, single-engine, piston-powered aircraft design, expanding its product range into a larger market. The new high-wing model, a five-year "pet project," ...

Airliners have looked largely the same for a long time now. The ongoing hunt for efficiency gains has seen the development of winglets, drag reducing films, and all manner of little aerodynamic tricks ...

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 ...

The new SE200 Tri-Wing Jumbo Jet has a very weird design. With its three wings, this new plane looks like it came from a sci-fi movie. However, its unusual appearance is not just for show since ...

Researchers used the characteristics of owl wings to inform airfoil design and significantly reduce trailing-edge noise. The team used noise calculation and analysis software to conduct a series of ...
