Supersonic aircraft design has re-emerged as a focal point in aerospace research, driven by the need to develop transport solutions that are both economically viable and environmentally acceptable.

Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X7 already sported a radical design, even within the wild world of hybrid eVTOLs. That design has now been updated, however, for enhanced aerodynamics, cruising performance ...

NASA and Boeing are pausing the development of the X-66 full-scale Sustainable Flight Demonstrator. Instead, they will re-focus their efforts on demonstrating the benefits of thin-wing technology.

How one key design choice from the 1960s still impacts the Boeing 737's performance today.

There’s a global energy crisis and onshore wind farms are a potential growth option. Larger wind turbines produce more power than standard ones, but the components are too big to be transported by ...

The Blended Wing Body (BWB) concept represents a transformative shift in aircraft design, merging the wing and fuselage into a single, continuous lifting surface. This integration offers substantial ...

The conceptual design stage is a key step in aircraft development, laying the foundation for performance, efficiency and innovation. Traditionally, this process relies heavily on experienced designers ...

The SHEPARD vehicle, recently designated the XRQ-73, represents a significant step forward in the evolution of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), leveraging hybrid electric propulsion technologies to ...

Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X7 eVTOL successfully completes stable wing transition, pioneering a novel fan-in-wing design for hybrid aircraft. Horizon Aircraft has announced a significant milestone ...

Canadian charter airline Nolinor Aviation has agreed to buy an all-new aircraft type known as a "blended-wing body" as it expands beyond its all-Boeing fleet. The futuristic cargo plane "Kona" is ...

Aurora Flight Sciences' uncrewed, blended-wing design for an experimental vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft will move into the next design phase after a DARPA contract award. More companies could ...
