In 2014 and 2015, at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, a strange-looking twin-boom aircraft called Proteus spent six months flying with wings that bent instead of ...

Back in 2016 we looked at an interesting project out of Switzerland's École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where researchers had taken inspiration from birds to produce a feathered drone ...

German research company DLR has developed a novel morphing wing leading edge that internally changes shape, replacing traditional slats to achieve higher lift and improved high-speed efficiency. This ...

NASA is developing a flexible carbon fiber wing that could morph into new shapes mid-flight, paving the way for mesh intelligence woven through the aerodynamics of future aircraft. The project, dubbed ...

Researchers from the University of Michigan have developed 3D morphing wings they believe could help small aircraft safely navigate windy urban streets. The wing design could also help aircraft land ...

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company’s Advanced Development Programs sector is proposing a morphing wing design that can be locked into either an expanded or contracted position. Key to enabling this ...

NASA has completed initial flight tests of its new Adaptive Compliant Trailing Edge (ACTE) morphing wing technology. This innovative technology aims to significantly improve fuel efficiency, reduce ...

Engineers have developed a drone with a feathered wing and tail that give it unprecedented flight agility. Engineers have developed a drone with a feathered wing and tail that give it unprecedented ...

NASA has kicked off a flight test campaign to evaluate wing surfaces that can change shape in-flight. The Adaptive Compliant Trailing Edge (ACTE) joint effort between NASA and the US Air Force ...
