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.

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.

That was my first thought — wing warping returns.
It proved an evolutionary dead end the first time out. I believe it was Glenn Curtiss who did most of the pioneering work on the control system that has lasted a century with no end in sight.

You’d be surprised (or perhaps not) buy how little coverage the Wright Brothers get in today’s textbooks. Last one I used, did have a picture of the Wright Flyer, but didn’t mention them in the body of the text. It is as if one of the great inventions of the 20th century really wasn’t a part of American history. And if you google “American inventors”, see what you get.

Exactly. Everything old is new again. Warping a wing existed at the dawn of aviation.

That was my first thought as well.

Yup. They called it wing warping.

NASA has a serious problem re-inventing stuff they had claimed was already invented:

So many years have passed since the moon missions that they are claiming they need to reinvent the technology that made those missions possible.
So either they were lying then or they are lying now—take your pick!
