NASA Successfully Tests Drag-Reducing Laminar-Flow Wing in Flight
NASA has successfully flown its 40-inch CATNLF laminar-flow wing model aboard an F-15B aircraft in January 2026. The test confirmed the drag-reducing design performs safely in flight. By maintaining smooth airflow over wings, the technology could improve fuel efficiency by up to 10 percent, lowering airline costs and reducing carbon emissions signi...

NASA Tests New Wing Design That Could Transform Airliner Efficiency
NASA engineers have tested a new laminar-flow wing concept at the Armstrong Flight Research Center by mounting a scaled CATNLF model beneath an F-15B aircraft. During high-speed taxi trials reaching about 144 mph, the design demonstrated potential to keep airflow smooth longer, reducing drag. NASA estimates the technology could cut fuel consumption...

Silicon Carbide-Based Motor Drive Enables a Smaller, Lighter Electric Aircraft Engine
A new silicon carbide-based motor drive for hybrid aircraft engines reduces size and weight while improving efficiency. Tested in a Cessna 337, the inverter allows lighter, more compact electric systems, offering better energy use and cabin space. This innovation could accelerate hybrid aircraft adoption and provide valuable hands-on experience for...
