Earlier this year, NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center's and Langley Research Center's request to get funding for the wind tunnels meant to test their new boomerang-shaped wings was granted. They believe the structure could lead to more efficient planes, even ones meant to be sent to Mars. Now, the two facilities are done subjecting a six-foot-span model of the shape they had in mind -- based on aircraft development from back in the 1930s -- to a series of wind tunnel tests. Thankfully, the results sound promising: according to NASA Armstrong chief scientist Al Bowers, the simulation proved that the wings are very stable and can maintain control even when completely stalled.
