STARKVILLE, Miss.—A Mississippi State engineering study could shape the future of tilt-wing plane design thanks to a $600,000 U.S. Department of Defense grant and a one-of-a-kind wind tunnel. Shreyas ...

The core advantage of a tilt‑wing in hover is that the entire wing sits inside a powerful, uniform propeller slipstream. That slipstream acts like a wind‑tunnel moving with the aircraft, smoothing out ...

Canada-based aerospace engineering company Horizon Aircraft has hit a significant milestone by becoming the first eVTOL developer to achieve stable wing-borne flight transition with its large-scale ...

A Chinese-built tiltrotor aircraft weighing about six tons reached a major aviation milestone on Sunday when it completed its maiden flight in Southwest China’s Sichuan Province. The tiltrotor ...

Dufour Aerospace is pioneering the future of sustainable aviation with innovative tilt-wing aircraft that combine the versatility of a helicopter with the efficiency of an airplane. To support the ...

Sikorsky on Monday detailed recent successful demonstrations with its “rotor blown wing” unmanned aircraft system (UAS), flying its prototype in both helicopter and “winged aircraft” mode through a ...

HopFlyt has built and flown two 10-ft. wingspan prototypes. Credit: HopFlyt Developed in the 1940s by American inventor William Ray Custer, the channel wing aircraft features a main wing with a ...

Today, aircraft wings are increasingly designed to prioritize stealth characteristics over raw speed—giving them a smooth, unbroken connection to the aircraft’s main fuselage. The wing of a fighter ...
