The Breakthrough Laminar Aircraft Demonstrator in Europe (BLADE) project is part of the Clean Sky Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft (SWFA) programme, an extensive, 50% European Union-funded, multi-partner ...

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 ...

Maturation of an all-new wing designed to deliver a 50% fuel-burn reduction as part of a future hybrid-electric regional aircraft could take place in the second half of the decade if a project led by ...
