From his youth, Jack Northrop imagined efficient all-wing aircraft so advanced that technology and power plants needed to ...

The flying wing concept was decades ahead of its time, combining innovative design with promises of greater speed, range, and efficiency. But what went wrong? This video dives into Jack Northrop ...

Due to its flying wing configuration, the B-2 Spirit is nearly impossible to detect. The recent dispatch of B-2 bombers to ...

The idea was not unprecedented; the German aerospace engineer Hugo Junkers had patented a flying-wing design in 1910. The concept is that an airplane’s fuselage and tail, while they provide ...

Blended wing aircraft are basically flying wings, where the cargo-carrying section of aircraft is shorter, wider, and produces lift. This layout can be used to increase the aircraft’s internal ...

New images have emerged of one of China’s futuristic fighter jets, a three-engine, tailless flying wing aircraft that Western ...

These futuristic wings are set to slash fuel use and cut emissions, making flying cheaper and greener. But there’s a hitch: they might also be more prone to ice buildup. That’s why NASA is on ...

Today the blended-wing concept has been greatly refined to mean a tailless flying-wing design, but McDonnell, while at Martin—and then later at his own company with the XP-67—tried to maintain ...

The new Avenger wouldn't look anything like its propeller-driven predecessor, instead its designers designers came up with a flying wing design that gave it a similar appearance to a Frito-Lay Dorito.

Sikorsky on Monday detailed recent successful demonstrations with its “rotor blown wing” unmanned aircraft system (UAS), flying its prototype in both helicopter and “winged aircraft” mode ...

Built to copy some of the 1950’s era innovations in delta-style jet aircraft, the plane is essentially a flying wing that seats four. And it’s not just all good looks: people who have flown ...
