Read More[youtube id="kXql26sF5uc"] Researchers at Langley Research Center are working on an electric unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that takes off like a helicopter but can fly efficiently like an aircraft. The 10 engines “Greased Lighting” (GL-10) is NASA’s next foray into the expanding world of UAVs. According to researchers, they have

Read MoreA company working closely with NASA is testing airplane wing surfaces that can change shape. FlexSys is currently testing out advance ‘shape-changing’ technology that—when applied to the surface of airplane wings—can potentially improve aerodynamic, and reduce noise during takeoff and landing. NASA and FlexSys call this new technology 'FlexFoil, or ‘variable
