Flight is one of civilization's greatest achievements, and technical innovations to the most basic parts of an aircraft have the ability to increase efficiency and performance. In this Air Force Tech Report we look at how wings work, and how the team at the Air Force Research Laboratory plans to take the wing to a whole new level.
