Sonex Aircraft has unveiled its first high-wing, single-engine, piston-powered aircraft design, expanding its product range into a larger market. The new high-wing model, a five-year "pet project," ...

Airliners have looked largely the same for a long time now. The ongoing hunt for efficiency gains has seen the development of winglets, drag reducing films, and all manner of little aerodynamic tricks ...

Taking a cue from birds and insects, researchers have come up with a new wing design for small drones that helps them fly more efficiently and makes them more robust to atmospheric turbulence.

Early aviation engineers appreciated the potential for a “flying wing” design. A flying wing, which minimizes fuselage and usually eliminates the tail, reduces many of the aerodynamic compromises ...

The new SE200 Tri-Wing Jumbo Jet has a very weird design. With its three wings, this new plane looks like it came from a sci-fi movie. However, its unusual appearance is not just for show since ...
