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 ...

Wings are a vital part of the aerodynamic performance of aircraft. Their design has changed over the years and could change significantly in the future if truce-braced wings or blended wing bodies ...

Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin’s decision to build a hybrid tilt-wing technology demonstrator is a significant step forward for eVTOL aircraft. We are in a unique position to say this, as Dufour ...

We are taught from a very young age that aircraft generally hide fuel tanks inside their wings. That remains true, for the most part, but now that a new breed of aircraft called vertical take-off and ...

But the variable-sweep wing design seems to have gone out of fashion most recently. As the name suggests, “variable-sweep” wings are aircraft wings that can be adjusted to different degrees of ...

United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) aims to be one of the first U.S. commercial carriers to fly passengers on a futuristic blended wing body ("BWB") aircraft, thanks to its investment in startup JetZero, ...

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 ...

JetZero secured $175 million in Series B funding, backed by major aviation players including United Airlines, RTX, Northrop Grumman, Delta Air Lines, and Alaska Airlines. The company is developing a ...

DARPA's X-65, that replaces conventional aircraft flight controls with puffs of air, is coming together at Boeing subsidiary Aurora’s Bridgeport, West Virginia facility. The fuselage is taking shape ...
