Fans of experimental aircraft from the 20th century are in for a treat. NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center has begun uploading its entire historical archive to YouTube, making hundreds of videos highlighting different test flights and strange planes from the past 70 years easily accessible.
-
After several years of development DARPA has successfully completed flight-testing of one of the most novel, and odd-looking, aircraft designs we've seen in some time – the sub-scale electric X-Plane.
-
At the upcoming CES convention, Samsung will unveil products from its Creative Lab (C-Lab) division, which include a smart tag for children's toys and two consumer skincare devices.

What if it were just as easy to edit a pre-recorded voice as it is to manipulate a photo? Adobe’s experimental Project VoCo is poised to do just that. This technology was demoed at the annual Adobe MAX conference last week alongside sneak previews of other exploratory software.
-
Japan's X-2 advanced technology demonstrator jet has completed it's maiden flight. The first Japanese-built warplane to incorporate stealth technology, the aircraft will be used to test various systems and equipment for fifth-generation fighter aircraft for the country's self-defense forces.
-
A miniature test version of DARPA's Vertical Take-off and Landing Experimental Plane (VTOL X-Plane) took to the skies recently, successfully completing a series of takeoff, hover, and landing maneuvers at an undisclosed US military base.
-
NASA is developing a stiletto-like plane wing that's so long and thin that it needs a truss to hold it up. The longer, thinner, and lighter truss-braced wing, as it is called, is aimed at making future commercial transport aircraft more efficient and less polluting.
-
With wings that look like a flying set of cupboards, DARPA's VTOL X-Plane design is a hybrid of fixed-wing and rotary wing technologies designed to create a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft that boasts greater range and speed capabilities.
-
NASA Aeronautics' New Aviation Horizons program wants to revive the X-planes for the 21st century as demonstrators for new, greener flight technology.
-
Looking more like a high-tech fighter than a light plane designed for private use, the Valkyrie from Cobalt aircraft boasts a canard front wing, sleek aerodynamic shape and a turbocharged 350 hp (260 kW) engine that propels it to speeds of up to 260 knots (482 km/h, 300 mph).
