A team of NASA researchers successfully performed a high-speed taxi test that could help ...

NASA has tested a scaled laminar-flow wing design beneath an F-15B aircraft, showing promise for reducing aerodynamic drag by up to 10%. The technology could significantly cut fuel use and emissions ...

NASA researchers successfully completed a high-speed taxi test of a scale model of a design that could make future aircraft more efficient by improving how air flows across a wing's surface, saving ...

NASA and Boeing are pausing the development of the X-66 full-scale Sustainable Flight Demonstrator. Instead, they will re-focus their efforts on demonstrating the benefits of thin-wing technology.

The race to come up with ways to cut back on fuel consumption in the aviation industry is giving birth to all sorts of wacky designs, in terms of both engines and airframes. One of them is the ...

The upcoming test campaign at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) is the culmination of the program that included ...

An F-15 is helping NASA to gather valuable insights into how future commercial jets could save fuel and reduce the price ...

Boeing and NASA will pause work on a new, experimental aircraft design meant to deliver more sustainable options for the future of aviation. The aircraft project — called the X-66A Sustainable Flight ...

Making the wings on passenger jets thinner and longer can go a long way toward reducing drag and making them more efficient, but they vibrate like crazy. Engineers at NASA and Boeing are now tackling ...

American space agency NASA released new images of the first flight of the X-59, but also details on what's next for the program.

Engineers are closing in on a long imagined goal in aviation, wings that can subtly change shape in midair instead of relying on rigid flaps and heavy hydraulics. The key is a family of “metals with ...
