The dogfight involved two small, unmanned, fixed-wing aircraft—one operated by AI, and the other controlled by a human from the ground.

DARPA said it plans to have the heavy transport seaplane flying within five years.

Planned test aircraft will replace moving control surfaces active flow system.

The conceptual platform is designed to carry heavy loads while flying in ground effect.

Resembling a composite, modernized version of the 1950s-era Bell X-14, the duPont Aerospace DP-2 failed to deliver on lofty promises.

The first development contract for Liberty Lifter could be issued by October.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) wants U.S. Air Force aerial tankers to take refueling to the next level by powering up unmanned aircraft systems with laser beams of energy in order to extend their range. DARPA’s Tactical Technology Office laid out the idea for the Airborne Energy Well concept in a Request for […]

If successful, the strategy for repairing aging concrete by mimicking biological systems could extend the life of critical military airfields and runways.

When the Wright Brothers designed the original Flyer, a critical element to their success laid in the refinement of the flight controls they used—wing warping—to guide the craft through the air. The aerospace industry has evolved the way we physically control flight ever since. And much evolution has taken place under the guidance of DARPA, […]
