How one key design choice from the 1960s still impacts the Boeing 737's performance today.

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 ...

The Airbus A300 is often remembered as the aircraft that launched Airbus into what it is today, but its deeper significance lies in how radically it challenged conventional aircraft design. When it ...

For airplane spotters and aviation enthusiasts, the stark contrast in cockpit nose designs between Boeing and Airbus aircraft is a fascinating detail. Boeing models typically feature sharply pointed ...

Airplane windows might seem ordinary, but they are as much of an engineering marvel as the rest of a modern aircraft. These windows are made of three layers of material to facilitate the plane's ...

As the U.S. Air Force pushes to be more prepared to operate on short notice from remote or austere locations with limited support, one simple question may increasingly be on the minds of its F-16 ...

Supersonic aircraft design has re-emerged as a focal point in aerospace research, driven by the need to develop transport solutions that are both economically viable and environmentally acceptable.

One might think that with these radical changes in aircraft design approach that the Celera approach was abandoned – otherwise why such fundamental and dramatic changes? It’s also strange to see the ...

Aurora Flight Sciences' uncrewed, blended-wing design for an experimental vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft will move into the next design phase after a DARPA contract award. More companies could ...
