NASA has tested some of the strangest aircraft designs in history, but few are as bizarre as the oblique wing aircraft—an experimental plane with one forward-swept wing and one backward-swept wing.
NASA isn't just ... support an extra-long wing. (Wings with more surface area can generate more lift.) Engineers will assess measurements of the demonstration plane's lift, drag, aerodynamics ...
Researchers from MIT and NASA have developed an airplane wing that can change shape and increase the efficiency of aircraft flight, production, and maintenance, according to MIT News. On a ...
If everything goes according to plan, NASA's Quiet Supersonic Technology (QueSST) program will produce its first results as soon as this year, as the demonstrator plane built for it, the X-59 ...
NASA has demonstrated a way to build "hybrid wing” airplanes that dramatically ... that the BWB — which lowers the weight of the aircraft's structure by 25 percent — could help improve ...
