It's unique, but not a new design, and will allow the aircraft to serve both Category E and Category F airports.

So why endure the added length, and thus the complexity that goes with the folding mechanisms, when making new aircraft? These longer wings, which are made of carbon fiber, are more fuel-efficient.

A high-level discussion on the upcoming operations of Boeing’s newest wide-body aircraft, the 777-9, was held this week at ...

Not exactly the kind of scenario we'd imagine being ideal for modern aircraft. But in flight wing folding can have advantages and NASA wants to make it happen. The idea here isn't to create ...

Airbus is well ahead of beleaguered Boeing in developing a 21st-century narrow-bodied aircraft; the US planemaker’s workhorse 737 is nearing its 60th birthday. Yet Europe’s folding wing of ...

A must-have for any fan of the Dune franchise, see how the Lego Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter fares in my review.

Pop-up spoilers, to be found on the folding wingtips and possibly elsewhere ... The Citation VII will be transformed into an uncrewed aircraft and the wing flight-tested remotely.

PteroDynamics said its aircraft, called Transwing, folds and unfolds its wings during flight to achieve different wing configurations, resulting in a smaller ground footprint and more effective ...

Imagine a new Airbus single-aisle aircraft with wings designed with advanced aerodynamics and biomimicry in mind to generate significantly more lift, reducing fuel consumption and increasing ...

Such an aircraft, for which Airbus has set a loose ... with a third in the works, for testing of folding wings. The manufacturer envisions a wing that would fold in upon landing for taxing and ...

The engineers also added folding wing tips to ensure that a large wing can fit in the current gate infrastructure. The aircraft also has to be large enough to hold the amount of batteries required ...
