By studying how grasshoppers glide and fold their wings, researchers are finding new ways to extend flight time for ...

Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying ...

"We are revisiting folding-wing aircraft," says NASA's Matt Moholt, "because new technologies that did not exist in the 1960s allow actuation to be put in tighter wings, in smaller volumes." This ...

NASA recently launched a new program with Boeing and aeronautics company Area-I to test wings equipped with actuators that would allow them to fold during flight. The folding wings project, called ...

NASA engineers have added a new twist to a cutting edge aerospace technology by demonstrating how a new Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuator can fold a 300-lb (136 kg) wing section from an F/A-18 Hornet ...

The company claims that the foldable wings would give the aircraft a longer wingspan during flight which would increase lift and reduce drag. Oppo Find N5 was launched globally on Thursday as the ...
