Nasa tested a new lightweight alloy to fold the outer portions of aircraft wings during flight. The alloy is a shape-memory material, and is triggered by controlling the temperature, moving the outer wings up or down. Having flexible wings could make flights more aerodynamic for both subsonic and supersonic aircraft.
