NASA and Boeing are pausing the development of the X-66 full-scale Sustainable Flight Demonstrator. Instead, they will re-focus their efforts on demonstrating the benefits of thin-wing technology.

NASA has tested a scaled laminar-flow wing design beneath an F-15B aircraft, showing promise for reducing aerodynamic drag by up to 10%. The technology could significantly cut fuel use and emissions ...

Over the past ten years or so, American space agency NASA has become a major player in the aviation industry, getting itself involved in all sorts of projects meant to inform the design of the ...

NASA researchers successfully completed a high-speed taxi test of a scale model of a design that could make future aircraft more efficient by improving how air flows across a wing’s surface, saving ...

Boeing and NASA will pause work on a new, experimental aircraft design meant to deliver more sustainable options for the future of aviation. The aircraft project — called the X-66A Sustainable Flight ...

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 ...

For years American space agency NASA has been trying to turn its ideas for the aviation industry into a reality. The organization is actively working on projects that are meant to make flying more eco ...

A team of NASA researchers successfully performed a high-speed taxi test that could help ...
