Despite both being widebody double-decker quadjets, these huge aircraft also have some noticeable differences.

Here's why Lockheed did this. The contest that eventually created the C-5 Galaxy was formally initiated in 1964 as the CX-HLS ...

Blended wing aircraft could slash carbon emissions. This rendering shows a design by California-based JetZero, which aims to have a plane in service by 2030. (Jet Zero) The basic design of commercial ...

Airbus and the startups JetZero and Natilus are leading development of these efficient flying wings. The jets would burn dramatically less fuel and feature distinctly shaped passenger cabins. Aircraft ...

Nobody thinks that the present design of planes is definitive. One who has revolutionary ideas about the next step is brainy, energetic John Knudsen Northrop. He thinks the tail ought to come off: he ...

Research and data obtained during the testing of these and other experimental aircraft would lead to today’s B-2 Spirit bomber and beyond. American concerns that Great Britain might fall to Axis ...

Early monoplanes possessed aerodynamic advantages over biplanes, but practical considerations like engine power and ease of construction favored biplanes. Biplanes' multiple wings provided increased ...

The B-21 bomber pairs cutting edge tech with a throwback aircraft design. It is based on a visionary aircraft design that dates back to World War II. That aircraft, the YB-49, minimized drag but ...
