Airbus unveils 'Wing of Tomorrow' folding wings project
SMRTR summary
Airbus is developing extra-long, high-aspect-ratio composite wings for future single-aisle aircraft that could cut fuel consumption and emissions by double digits. The wings exceed standard 36-meter airport wingspan limits, so Airbus is making them foldable at the tips. Flight testing begins over the next three years using non-folding demonstrator wings.
