Umm, new kind of wing? I’m pretty sure the Wright Flyer used the same principle. I guess the author never hard of the Wright brothers.

Can just imagine the software necessary to modify wing configuration throughout a flight. What possibly can go wrong?

Eventually NASA will get around to leaking the liquid-wing and aircraft haul designs. These allow the exoskin to stretch and retract during different phases of flight and takeoff. Once we build the stretchable skin bodies on space and other craft, speeds and efficiencies will increase.

Of course it’s the same principal but today’s wings look nothing like what the Wright brothers used.
This is a new kind of wing.

Yes, my same first thought. Not New. Wing warping was the first manned flight control system.
Head shake.

Absolutely the right question. Computers are not “saving the world” they are destroying our ability to see reality.

Did you guys even read the article?
It is new technology from new materials that employ PASSIVE adjustment to their shape which increases efficiency.
The physics behind it is sound, and interesting. Why are you bashing it?
