Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying ...

The nature-inspired metal material could enable shape-shifting wings that adjust themselves for smoother flight.

A plane wing that changes shape in flight to better handle the airflow crossing it could be on the horizon thanks to a materials science advance from researchers in Stockholm. The trick involves the ...

The latest generation of experimental aircraft is no longer chasing raw speed alone, it is trying to change how the air ...

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.

Airbus UpNext, the airframer’s innovations arm, will early next year begin flight tests of a Cessna Citation VII business jet that it will eventually modify with a wing that can automatically change ...

Researchers have developed a way to fabricate a new type of wing that can change its shape in flight for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) cheaply and efficiently using a novel 4D-printing process, they ...
