Supersonic aircraft design has re-emerged as a focal point in aerospace research, driven by the need to develop transport solutions that are both economically viable and environmentally acceptable.

The Blended Wing Body (BWB) concept represents a transformative shift in aircraft design, merging the wing and fuselage into a single, continuous lifting surface. This integration offers substantial ...

Horizon Aircraft's Cavorite X7 already sported a radical design, even within the wild world of hybrid eVTOLs. That design has now been updated, however, for enhanced aerodynamics, cruising performance ...

The conceptual design stage is a key step in aircraft development, laying the foundation for performance, efficiency and innovation. Traditionally, this process relies heavily on experienced designers ...

Some 60 years after such a design was first conceptualized by Adolf Busemann, it seems like the supersonic biplane is finally creeping its way towards reality. A supersonic biplane would apparently ...

Aurora Flight Sciences' uncrewed, blended-wing design for an experimental vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft will move into the next design phase after a DARPA contract award. More companies could ...
