THE INCREDIBLE plan for a "wonky wing" supersonic plane of the future "defied nature" with its mind-bending design. The aircraft's design saw it adopt just a single wing that would rotate on a centre ...

Airplanes don't need their wings to be symmetrical to take to the skies. At first, planes were designed with perpendicular wings to the plane's fuselage because every flying creature in nature ...

An 18-year-old from Olympia, Washington, has just taken a significant step toward transforming the way we think about aviation. Kevin Shen’s new take on oblique-wing design not only achieves a higher ...

A concept proposed in the 1940s is being dusted off as the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) reveals plans for an oblique flying wing (OFW) X-plane demonstrator. The tailless ...

Your eyes are not deceiving you: The wing of this plane is oblique, turned 60-degrees across its fuselage. It’s name is the AD-1 and it’s the weirdest plane ever created by NASA. But why did they make ...

Oblique flying wing (OFW) aircraft could fly in close formation supersonically for significant fuel savings, according to a year-long study sponsored by the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).

On December 21, 1979, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) AD-1 Oblique Wing Research Aircraft (OWRA) took off from the main runway at Edwards Air Force Base (AFB), CA, for a ...

The oblique flying wing was designed to drastically improve commercial air transportation and reduce fuel costs THE INCREDIBLE plan for a “wonky wing” supersonic plane of the future “defied nature” ...
