The agency noted that undetected upper wing skin cracks could compromise the airplane's structural integrity, potentially leading to loss of control.

Research suggests that free-moving panels on aircraft wings can improve stability, reduce turbulence, and add fuel efficiency ...

The exact airfoil shape of a wing has a massive effect on the performance and efficiency of an aircraft and will be selected based on the intended flight envelope. If you’re moving beyond foam ...

Still looking to learn from winged animals, a team of researchers from Princeton University is exploring how feather-like flaps on aircraft wings could improve stability and maneuverability.
