The advantages of building aircraft structures with composites, compared to metal, include light weight, high specific strength, superior fatigue properties, damage tolerance and the absence of corrosion.
Outlined technology bricks — including foldable wings, more efficient engines and propulsion and composite materials — could support a planned single-aisle next decade, plus Airbus’s renewed commitment of a commercially viable H2 aircraft.
Program will focus on sustainable, next-gen wing solutions, including in wing design and manufacturing and advancements in carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials.
The Filton facility will build and test demonstrators for a range of Airbus programs and research projects including Wing of Tomorrow, AlbatrossONE, the eXtra Performance Wing and more.
The Wing of Tomorrow integrates myriad new composite materials and processing technologies, including thermoplastic composite ribs, an out-of-autoclave vacuum bag only spar, infused skins and much more.
Maiden flight of the biomimetic adaptable wing establishes baseline for future fuel consumption reductions, sets milestone for ground testing and flights beginning 2024.
GKN Aerospace has spent the last five years developing materials strategies and resin transfer molding (RTM) for an aircraft trailing edge wing spar for the Airbus Wing of Tomorrow program.
French Tier 1 aerospace supplier Daher develops out-of-autoclave materials and process technologies for application in next-gen structures for the Airbus Wing of Tomorrow program.
Airbus is evaluating several advanced composites technologies as part of its Wing of Tomorrow program. Among these is liquid resin infusion of the lower wing skin, being developed by Spirit AeroSystems.
In a bid to decarbonize the aviation industry, NCC engineers are looking to design and manufacture primary components for the eXtra Performance Wing “wing box” structure.
The program brings together more than 100 new technologies and composites innovations, including delivery of the first fixed trailing edge by GKN Aerospace.
