Wing-mounted engines reduce wing bending moments ... require stronger wings, and affect aircraft stability. Commercial airliners are generally known for their under-the-wing engine design.

Structural challenges: Longer wings are subject to greater bending forces ... Aspect ratios across different aircraft types: Glider aircraft feature very high aspect ratios, sometimes exceeding ...

NASA is testing next-gen airplane wings to prevent ice buildup, ensuring safer, more fuel-efficient flights of the future.

An aircraft or hydrofoil wing behaves as a cantilever beam from a structural viewpoint. Structures of this sort have a "flexural center" associated with them. If they are loaded at the flexural center ...

A cross-section of the aircraft wing fixing, in which we’ve highlighted the role of the pickle forks. (Boeing) The pickle fork is an assembly so named because of its resemblance to the kitchen ...

Aviation startup Natilus announced it is looking for a place to build a factory for the world's first commercial blended wing ...

Like everything else around us, aviation is changing too, and it does so at a rapid pace. From new ways to power the planes to new and more efficient shapes of airplanes' bodies, the biggest ...
