NASA and Boeing have effectively cancelled the X-66 Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW) concept demonstrator aircraft. Officially described as a "pause," development of the thin-wing airplane is being ...

A new artificial intelligence tool could accelerate the design of cutting-edge aircraft wings. Luminary Cloud, a platform that uses advanced physics simulations to help engineers experiment with ...

Boeing has taken the wraps off of a new ultra-thin wing concept designed to improve the performance of transonic aircraft traveling at speeds of Mach 0.8 (593 mph, 955 km/h). The latest version of the ...

Dangerous vortexes form when an aircraft takes off or lands. A combination of optimised numerical methods, a supercomputer and highly developed visualisation methods revealed how this process ...

Over the past two decades the non-intrusive Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) has matured from its developmental stage to a reliable whole field measurement technique for industrial aerodynamics.

BRITS going on long haul holidays could be looking at shorter and smoother journeys in the future – and it might even be cheaper too. This is all thanks to Boeing’s new “transonic” planes, which will ...
