TOULOUSE—A carbon-fiber wing is particularly suitable for a distributed propulsion architecture such as the hybrid-electric layout of the ERA regional aircraft thanks to the material's rigidity, Aura ...

The Boeing 777-8F and Airbus A350F are similar enough freighters that they are set to compete for similar markets.

US investigators have determined that insufficient testing of a new retardant resulted in significant corrosion damage to two ...

Early C-123 operations revealed structural stress concerns, particularly in wing spars subjected to heavy loads on short, rough airstrips. Combined with irregular maintenance environments, these ...

IRT Jules Verne, working with Airbus, Daher and French consortium developed a mobile robotic inspection platform that uses ...

Abstract: This study depicts on algorithm for creating National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) series wings based on the air foil’s governing equations. It is to assess their aerodynamic ...

Guard platform takes off and lands vertically, then flies on the wing while being towed by a vessel or vehicle. Credit: WindLift A U.S. startup has adapted technology enabling airborne wind energy ...

The concept of blended-wing aircraft – where fuselage and wing are all one structure – is not new. But this radical design might soon be a credible concept for airliners. In March 2025, a small ...

Abstract: The flying-wing aircraft control problem is a major concern. In this paper, a new control strategy is introduced. First, a Feedforward neural network (FNN) modeling is introduced. Then, a ...
