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

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 ...

The first in-flight demonstration of a shape-changing, or morphing, wing has been accomplished by small US company NextGen Aeronautics. The test was in part of a US research programme to demonstrate ...

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 ...

A new type of composite wing that can change its shape according to flight conditions has been made from a lattice of small, lightweight components. This morphing ability could allow for more ...

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 ...

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 ...
