A supersonic business jet (SSBJ) with a variable geometry wing could land on short runways and fly 6,000ft (1,830m) lower than a fixed-wing SSBJ, says a European study. As well as the lower altitude ...

ANN ARBOR (WWJ) --An Ann Arbor company is giving the aviation industry its long-sought, elusive goal of practical seamless control surface technologies. A variable geometry airfoil, called FlexFoil, ...

A closer look at the reasoning behind the plane's iconic swing-wing mechanism.

Wings spread as it wheels through high, slow arcs, wings tucked back as it plummets in a swift hunting dive, the peregrine falcon is a picture of functional perfection. No airplane has yet come close ...

In January, we looked at FlexFoil; a variable geometry airfoil system that seamlessly integrates into the trailing edge of the wing. During the year the system has made the leap from the test bench to ...
