Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X7 already sported a radical design, even within the wild world of hybrid eVTOLs. That design has now been updated, however, for enhanced aerodynamics, cruising performance ...

Wings are a vital part of the aerodynamic performance of aircraft. Their design has changed over the years and could change significantly in the future if truce-braced wings or blended wing bodies ...

Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin’s decision to build a hybrid tilt-wing technology demonstrator is a significant step forward for eVTOL aircraft. We are in a unique position to say this, as Dufour ...

We are taught from a very young age that aircraft generally hide fuel tanks inside their wings. That remains true, for the most part, but now that a new breed of aircraft called vertical take-off and ...

The Blended Wing Body (BWB) concept represents a transformative shift in aircraft design, merging the wing and fuselage into a single, continuous lifting surface. This integration offers substantial ...

JetZero secured $175 million in Series B funding, backed by major aviation players including United Airlines, RTX, Northrop Grumman, Delta Air Lines, and Alaska Airlines. The company is developing a ...

DARPA's X-65, that replaces conventional aircraft flight controls with puffs of air, is coming together at Boeing subsidiary Aurora’s Bridgeport, West Virginia facility. The fuselage is taking shape ...

The second of four designs has been revealed in the Speed and Runway Independent Technologies (SPRINT) X-plane competition being held by the Pentagon’s secretive technology development agency. The US ...

The 1980s marked an era of unconventional thinking in aviation design, giving birth to groundbreaking concepts that aimed to revolutionize commercial air travel. Among these was an aircraft with a ...
