What if urban air taxis could, like birds, vary the configuration of their wings in flight? The answer to such questions could soon become reality through morphing wing technology assisted by ...

In modern research and development contexts, aerial robotics are expanding beyond their hobbyist origins. A forthcoming ...

Two innovative businesses - one in advanced winglet technology and the other in shape-adaptive structures – are forming a joint venture to commercialise wing morphing. Speaking at the NBAA show today ...

The allure of wing morphing has been around since man first noticed how birds fly. Drastically change the shape of a wing in flight and you get something that can potentially fly fast as well as be ...

The Clean Aviation HERWINGT project is developing a novel, ultra-high performance wing for a hybrid-electric regional aircraft, including thermoplastic composites (TPC) and morphing composite wing ...

NextGen Aeronautics is to build a small unmanned air vehicle able to change shape in flight under the next phase of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) morphing aircraft ...

US manufacturer close to first flight as pioneering unmanned air vehicle takes shape Lockheed Martin plans to make the first attempt to fly a morphing unmanned air vehicle at Edwards AFB, California ...

MIT and NASA researchers have developed a morphing airplane wing that goes back to the future: The entire wing bends and twists, much as the Wright brothers' Flyer 1 did more than a century ago.

Nine Dutch Aerospace Engineering students at the Delft University of Technology, together with the Department of Experimental Zoology of Wageningen University, designed the RoboSwift. RoboSwift is a ...

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and NASA are reinventing the airplane as we know it. Engineers from both institutions have teamed up to build and test a radically new type of airplane wing ...

When the Wright brothers accomplished their first powered flight more than a century ago, they controlled the motion of their Flyer 1 aircraft using wires and pulleys that bent and twisted the ...
