The German Aerospace Center is developing a 1 million Euro project exploring the use of morphing wings, redefining how we ...

Since at least the myth of Icarus, wings seen in nature have inspired humanity’s dreams of flight. In the more than a century since the Wright brothers flew the first airplane, Flyer 1, people have ...

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 ...

“The morphing wing can change its shape during flight, allowing it to adapt optimally to different flight conditions," explains project leader Martin Radestock from the DLR Institute of Lightweight ...

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 ...

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 ...

NASA and MIT just unveiled a new “morphing” aircraft wing that could revolutionize aviation. The flexible wing designed by NASA’s MADCAT team could be used to create super-efficient planes that use ...

NextGen Aeronautics is to build a small unmanned air vehicle able to change shape in flight under the next phase of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) morphing aircraft ...
