The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, U.S.) recently completed the successful flight demonstration of a game-changing camber morphing wing technology that ...
Researchers from the University of Michigan have developed 3D morphing wings they believe could help small aircraft safely navigate windy urban streets. The wing design could also help aircraft land ...
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company’s Advanced Development Programs sector is proposing a morphing wing design that can be locked into either an expanded or contracted position. Key to enabling this ...

New metal could morph aircraft wings while flying
Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying on rigid flaps and heavy hydraulics. The key is a family of “metals with ...
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 ...
The first in-flight demonstration of a shape-changing, or morphing, wing has been accomplished by small US company NextGen Aeronautics. The test was in part of a US research programme to demonstrate ...
MIT and NASA researchers have developed a morphing airplane wing that goes back to the future: The entire wing bends and twists, much as the Wright brothers' Flyer 1 did more than a century ago.
