NASA researchers successfully completed a high-speed taxi test of a scale model of a design that could make future aircraft more efficient by improving how air flows across a wing's surface, saving ...

The upcoming test campaign at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) is the culmination of the program that included ...

NASA and Boeing are pausing the development of the X-66 full-scale Sustainable Flight Demonstrator. Instead, they will re-focus their efforts on demonstrating the benefits of thin-wing technology.

NASA didn’t build this plane to look good, they built it to test an extreme idea. One wing swept forward, the other back, ...

The airliner you board in the future could look a lot different from today's, with longer, thinner wings that provide a smoother ride while saving fuel. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

The race to come up with ways to cut back on fuel consumption in the aviation industry is giving birth to all sorts of wacky designs, in terms of both engines and airframes. One of them is the ...

Boeing and NASA will pause work on a new, experimental aircraft design meant to deliver more sustainable options for the future of aviation. The aircraft project — called the X-66A Sustainable Flight ...

American space agency NASA released new images of the first flight of the X-59, but also details on what's next for the program.

NASA and Boeing have effectively cancelled the X-66 Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW) concept demonstrator aircraft. Officially described as a "pause," development of the thin-wing airplane is being ...

Making the wings on passenger jets thinner and longer can go a long way toward reducing drag and making them more efficient, but they vibrate like crazy. Engineers at NASA and Boeing are now tackling ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – You may one day board a plane where the wings will look very different. Future airplanes are ditching traditional wing design for something sleeker—long, thin wings braced with ...

Kona’s projected maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 19,000 pounds would place it near the FAA’s Part 23 limit, Matyushev said.
