Imagine looking out the window of an airborne airplane and seeing the wing rippling and twisting. You'll probably have a mini ...
Following successful in-flight tests of a shape-changing wing, two teams have been funded to demonstrate aggressive manoeuvring using fast morphing. Unmanned air vehicles built by Lockheed Martin and ...
A version of this article appears in the September 22 issue of Aviation Week & Space Technology. From earliest times, humans have watched birds and been inspired to fly. Yet while aircraft designers ...
Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works has revealed further details of its morphing unmanned air vehicle (UAV) development programme, including one that can be launched from a Trident submarine. The morphing ...
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 ...
German Aerospace Center engineers have tested flap-less morphing wings on the Proteus aircraft, advancing Hyperelastic Trailing Edge Morphing technology. The system uses fiber-reinforced composites ...
