New metal material could enable shape-shifting aircraft wings that adapt mid-flight
The nature-inspired metal material could enable shape-shifting wings that adjust themselves for smoother flight.
A plane wing that changes shape in flight to better handle the airflow crossing it could be on the horizon thanks to a materials science advance from researchers in Stockholm. The trick involves the ...

This experimental aircraft could rewrite the rules of flight
The latest generation of experimental aircraft is no longer chasing raw speed alone, it is trying to change how the air ...
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.
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 ...
Two prototypes of a wing that changes shape radically in flight will undergo structural and aerodynamic testing in July and August by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa). These ...
