A throwback to early 20th Century aviation may hold the key to eliminating the sonic boom - at least according to researchers at MIT and Stanford University. Strongly reminiscent of biplanes still in ...

Biplanes once ruled the skies in the pioneering days of aviation and World War I. Now the old aircraft design could make a comeback in the silent supersonic jets of tomorrow. A newer version of the ...

A research team has developed a new biplane concept that could cut down sonic booms by half, and potentially reduce fuel consumption as well. A research team has developed a new biplane concept that ...

The concept still demonstrates its strong, lightweight structure and excellent maneuverability at low speed. Many people are aware—consciously or instinctively—that the world’s first successful ...

Researchers tested 700 wing configurations to come up with a biplane design - used by most aircraft in the early years of flying - to reduce the sonic boom that restricted earlier flights of the ...

Qiqi Wang (MIT), Rui Hu (MIT) and Antony Jameson (Stanford) have shown through a computer model that a modified biplane can, in fact, produce significantly less drag than a conventional single-wing ...

Russian president Vladimir Putin says building a modern civil aircraft industry has required a strategic rethink from the ...
