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

Airbus and the startups JetZero and Natilus are leading development of these efficient flying wings. The jets would burn dramatically less fuel and feature distinctly shaped passenger cabins. Aircraft ...

This is an amazing flying wing project, using classic balsa wood construction and covering. You can learn more in the ...

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

Ask someone to picture an airplane and they’re likely to think of what is essentially a tube with wings and a stabilizing tail tacked onto one end of said tube. Yet it is also no secret that the lift ...

The aircraft is meant to develop and mature rotor blown wing design, which can now be applied to larger aircraft for unmanned aerial logistics and even tactical ISR missions. Sikorsky announced it has ...

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