Bio-inspired wind sensing using strain sensors on flexible wings could revolutionize robotic flight control strategy. Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have developed a method to detect wind ...

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 ...

Engineers in the United States are betting that ultra-long, ultra-thin wings can make jet travel quieter, smoother and significantly cheaper to operate. Instead of the familiar stubby wings of today’s ...
