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 ...
Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying ...
The South Korean armed forces have showcased a stealthy-shaped flying wing drone in a huge military parade in Seoul today. A small uncrewed aircraft like this could offer the country a less detectable ...
Here’s What You Need To Remember: A flying wing has a distinct advantage over a traditional plane. It experiences much less drag than a traditional propellor plane, enabling it to fly faster and save ...
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 ...
In the February 1938 issue of Popular Mechanics, Lockheed engineer Hall Hibbard laid out a vision for a future aircraft that was the shape of giant wing, providing "evidence that the flying wing is ...
Flying wings are popular options for fixed-wing FPV flying, but they have one rather annoying characteristic: yaw wag. The flying wing will wobble on the yaw axis while flying, and this side-to-side ...
