If you ever sit in an airplane row overlooking a wing, then you probably notice multiple flaps along its edges that adjust ...

The two contending planes featured in "Battle of the X-Planes" make use of radically different wing designs: one uses a triangular-shaped delta wing; the other, traditional wings. Each design has ...

Once upon a time, RC planes were expensive models that took ... and how to form it into a viable wing. That’s the most crucial part, with the fuselage and tail surfaces relatively simple by ...

Ahmed K. Othman, Girguis Sedky, Hannah Wiswell and Aimy Wissa (left to right) equipped the wings of an RC plane with covert-inspired flaps, and flew it at Princeton's Forrestal Campus to prove ...

while most fixed wings will struggle to get past two hours. [Matthew Heiskell] blew these numbers out of the water with a 10 hour 45 minute flight with an RC plane on battery power. Condensed ...

The technology echoes bird biology, specifically covert wing feathers that birds use when landing or facing turbulent winds.

A modern aircraft’s wing is an incredibly complex piece of engineering. On planes like the Airbus A350, the wings hold the plane’s massive jet engines, house the fuel tanks that keep those ...

the French aircraft manufacturer put the plane under extreme stress tests. In a video posted to their YouTube page, Airbus showed how when extreme pressure is exerted onto the wings they bend an ...
