    A model of the Transonic Truss-Braced Wing aircraft in a wind tunnel at NASA's Ames Research Center. By early 2019, following extensive wind tunnel testing at NASA Ames Research Center, an optimized truss and more sweep for the 170 ft (52 m) span wing allowed flying higher and faster, up from Mach 0.70–0.75 to Mach 0.80 like current jetliners.

    The wings are longer than the ones on previous versions of that airplane—a design change that helps increase the craft’s overall fuel efficiency. NASA’s weird wing design could lead to ...

  7. Bracing (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracing_(aeronautics)

    In aeronautics, bracing comprises additional structural members which stiffen the functional airframe to give it rigidity and strength under load. Bracing may be applied both internally and externally, and may take the form of struts, which act in compression or tension as the need arises, and/or wires, which act only in tension.
