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 ...

The Wing Weight function models a light aircraft wing. The response is the wing's weight. Forrester, A., Sobester, A., & Keane, A. (2008). Engineering design via surrogate modelling: a practical guide ...

Servos are the little instruments that ... called the "wing leveler" because it controls the roll of the plane and keeps the wings perpendicular to the ground. Two-axis handles everything the ...

For tilt control, air from the main fan is channeled to the wing-tips and controlled by servo-actuated valves. A flight controller intended for use on a multi-rotor is used to help keep the plane ...

They’re also built to withstand some pretty serious weather, which means that their wings bend way further than you might expect. A modern aircraft’s wing is an incredibly complex piece of ...

Researchers from MIT and NASA have developed an airplane wing that can change shape and increase the efficiency of aircraft flight, production, and maintenance, according to MIT News. On a ...

Ahmed K. Othman, Girguis Sedky, Hannah Wiswell and Aimy Wissa (left to right) equipped the wings of an RC plane with covert-inspired flaps, and flew it at Princeton's Forrestal Campus to prove ...

XI'AN -- China has unveiled its first-ever wing type spectrum of aircraft in Xi'an, Northwestern Shaanxi province. The design of the aircraft wings is the foundation of the aviation industry and ...

It was printed at Oak Ridge National Lab, and took 30 hours to make. It's a tool that will help Boeing build aircraft wings. Preliminary tests show it's lighter, cheaper, and just as strong as the ...
