Aurora Flight Sciences has taken a major step forward in its experimental aircraft program, ...

NASA's X-29 tested forward-swept wings and digital fly-by-wire control, advancing unstable aircraft design and high-angle flight research.

Testing found that the technology's "behavior and output" change between en route and terminal airspace.

NASA used the F-111 Aardvark to test supercritical wings, fly-by-wire and adaptive wing tech, shaping modern aircraft design ...

Aerodynamic modelling and flight testing remain at the forefront of aircraft design and verification, providing the essential linkage between computational simulations and real-world performance.

The system can be reconfigured in real time while the X-plane is still in the air. The US Air Force's X-62A Variable In-flight Simulation Test Aircraft (VISTA) is one of the world's premiere flying ...

Aurora Flight Sciences and DARPA are continuing the assembly of the X-65 CRANE demonstrator, targeting a first flight by 2027 ...

The US Navy (USN) has completed its first test flight using an uncrewed aircraft control station that will be installed on the service’s fleet of aircraft carriers. In a demonstration event on 7 ...
