Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying ...
The latest generation of experimental aircraft is no longer chasing raw speed alone, it is trying to change how the air ...
The nature-inspired metal material could enable shape-shifting wings that adjust themselves for smoother flight.
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.
