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 ...

Longer, thinner wings are on the horizon as NASA and Boeing continue to research what the future of aviation could look like ...

Long, narrow wings are intended to reduce fuel consumption and increase comfort in aircraft. However, wing flutter must be ...

When creating lift, longer, thinner wings can reduce drag, making them efficient. However, they can become very flexible in ...

The airliner you board in the future could look a lot different from today's, with longer, thinner wings that provide a ...

The Integrated Adaptive Wing Technology Maturation wind-tunnel model installed in the Transonic Dynamics Tunnel at NASA ...

OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman—perhaps the most prominent face of the artificial intelligence boom that accelerated with the launch of ChatGPT in 2022—loves scaling laws. These widely admired rules ...

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge disaster serves as a powerful lesson in engineering and aerodynamics. The collapse on November 7, 1940, stands as one of the most dramatic and instructive engineering ...

In mid-2025 the aviation world marked a milestone in aerodynamics and avionics interaction. While most headlines focus on new engines, emissions, or avionics suites, NASA and Boeing made public plans ...

Considering the characteristics of large slenderness ratio structure, it is reasonable to simplify the dynamics of a HALE aircraft as the plunge, pitch, and flap motions of a planar airfoil. The ...
