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

What if urban air taxis could, like birds, vary the configuration of their wings in flight? The answer to such questions could soon become reality through morphing wing technology assisted by ...

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 ...

Drone technology is advancing rapidly, with nature-inspired designs leading the charge. The LIS Raptor, a drone equipped with morphing wings and a tail modeled after the northern goshawk, exemplifies ...

The Clean Aviation HERWINGT project is developing a novel, ultra-high performance wing for a hybrid-electric regional aircraft, including thermoplastic composites (TPC) and morphing composite wing ...

MIT and NASA researchers have developed a morphing airplane wing that goes back to the future: The entire wing bends and twists, much as the Wright brothers' Flyer 1 did more than a century ago.
