It's a classic aerodynamic problem: most wing shapes that perform well at high speeds by minimizing "drag" don't have the "lift" needed for takeoff. The solution for Concorde was an elegant delta ...

This triangle-shaped wing design worked to reduce drag on the aircraft, but it did introduce an interesting design quirk. Because of the aircraft's body shape, Concorde jets needed to land with ...

The jet is set to be the fastest civilian aircraft since Concorde and will fly ... including a new Smooth Flĕx Wing design that is slightly curve-shaped. This was engineered to effectively ...

The fastest civilian aircraft since the Concorde is set to take flight this year. Canadian jet maker Bombardier’s Global 8000 ...
