Assembled from tiny identical pieces, the wing could enable lighter, more energy-efficient aircraft designs. The new approach to wing construction could afford greater flexibility in the design and manufacturing of future aircraft. The new wing design was tested in a NASA wind tunnel and is described today in a paper in the journal Smart Materials and […]
