[FUTURE TECHNOLOGY] A new type of airplane wing that adapts mid-flight could change air travel
Story-level discussion
Start here
Assembling the wing from thousands of tiny identical pieces could make aircraft lighter and more energy efficient. How it works: The wing is made from an open, lightweight lattice framework that is covered with a thin layer of polymer material. It looks like thousands of matchstick-type struts welded together in small
