What if urban air taxis could, like birds, vary the configuration of their wings in flight? The answer to such questions ...

Boeing company Aurora Flight Sciences has unveiled a flying-wing design with embedded lift fans as its candidate for a DARPA program to build a high-speed vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) X-plane.

In modern research and development contexts, aerial robotics are expanding beyond their hobbyist origins. A forthcoming ...

The Manta vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing utilizes a Y3 configuration with a tilting rotor design, combining the advantages of multirotor hover capability with the efficient cruising ...

The advances of Aurora’s demonstrator ensure that the company’s fan-in-wing VTOL experiments will extend well beyond DARPA’s SPRINT. Aurora Flight Sciences, a Boeing subsidiary, is poised to redefine ...

Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin’s decision to build a hybrid tilt-wing technology demonstrator is a significant step forward for eVTOL aircraft. We are in a unique position to say this, as Dufour ...
