THE INCREDIBLE plan for a “wonky wing” supersonic plane of the future “defied nature” with its mind-bending design. The aircraft’s design saw it adopt just a single wing that would rotate on a centre ...

Airplanes don't need their wings to be symmetrical to take to the skies. At first, planes were designed with perpendicular wings to the plane's fuselage because every flying creature in nature ...

An 18-year-old from Olympia, Washington, has just taken a significant step toward transforming the way we think about aviation. Kevin Shen’s new take on oblique-wing design not only achieves a higher ...

Since the development of the commercial jet aircraft, little has changed about its fundamental design. Performance improvements have certainly been made, but the basic tube-and-fixed wing design has ...

Can Northrop build an oblique flying wing X-plane and revolutionise the design of long-range strike aircraft? DARPA has given it a chance to find out An aircraft that can loiter like a Global Hawk, ...

Chinese engineers are reportedly working on their own version of the oblique wing concept. Developed as early as the 1940s, this design consists of a single wing that can swivel around the fuselage, ...

Your eyes are not deceiving you: The wing of this plane is oblique, turned 60-degrees across its fuselage. It’s name is the AD-1 and it’s the weirdest plane ever created by NASA. But why did they make ...

Northrop Grumman is beginning high-speed windtunnel testing of the oblique flying wing X-plane it is designing for the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. If built, the OFW technology ...

Back in the 1940's, scientists suggested that a plane with uneven, or oblique, wings might be the best shape for supersonic travel. Sixty years later, no one has been able to make a working, ...

The oblique flying wing was designed to drastically improve commercial air transportation and reduce fuel costs THE INCREDIBLE plan for a “wonky wing” supersonic plane of the future “defied nature” ...

Your eyes are not deceiving you: The wing of this plane is oblique, turned 60-degrees across its fuselage. It's the AD-1 Oblique Wing Aircraft and it's the weirdest plane ever created by NASA. But why ...
