New technology hub to accelerate next generation Airbus wings | Airbus

Wing of Tomorrow Demonstrators

The three 17metre full scale wings demonstrators include:

• Static wing demonstrator - used to test structural capabilities of new designs and materials and to validate our analysis.

• Fully-equipped demonstrator - used to test installation technologies and novel approaches to equipping the next generation of wings with systems. 

• Run@rate demonstrator - will test industrial capability and automation technologies to assess how we can build wings at the scale and speed we need to.
