It is similar in appearance and mission to its direct predecessor, the B-2 Spirit, and demonstrates the ascendancy of the flying wing design for the most sophisticated bombers. But for all its ...

Inspectors say Iran is dangerously close to making a nuclear weapon. If it goes that route, the B-2 bomber has the stealth and payload needed to knock out buried nuclear sites.

Blended wing aircraft are basically flying wings, where the cargo-carrying section of aircraft is shorter, wider, and produces lift. This layout can be used to increase the aircraft’s internal ...

According to the Smithsonian, Nazi Luftwaffe chief Hermann Göring allocated half a million Reich Marks to brothers Reimar and Walter Horten to manufacture the aircraft. Plagued with problems ...

While aircraft today typically comprise a tubular fuselage attached with wings, the research team is focusing on a “flying wing,” which features a flat body that integrates the fuselage and ...

Students at Miami University built a prototype of the strange-looking aircraft, which was designed by inventor Steven Nemeth, to demonstrate that a circular wing could be used to fly a plane ...
