What if urban air taxis could, like birds, vary the configuration of their wings in flight? The answer to such questions ...

Winglet wizards Aviation Partners is forming a partnership with FlexSys to certify and commercialize wing-morphing adaptive-control surfaces that have the potential to boost airfoil performance over a ...

In modern research and development contexts, aerial robotics are expanding beyond their hobbyist origins. A forthcoming ...

Airplane designers have long admired how birds reshape their wings for soaring, diving, and maneuvering. Now, a prototype aircraft wing has demonstrated in its first flight tests that its morphing ...

Drone technology is advancing rapidly, with nature-inspired designs leading the charge. The LIS Raptor, a drone equipped with morphing wings and a tail modeled after the northern goshawk, exemplifies ...

A whole new concept of aeroplane wing design has been developed by a team from MIT and NASA, which can morph during flight and is covered in a ‘skin’ that somewhat resembles fish scales. The ...
