Airbus Launches Full-Scale Foldable Wing Extensions for A321neo Flight Tests
Airbus Full Scale Foldable Wing Extensions
We are launching a new three-year flight test campaign for our Wing of Tomorrow programme. We will install full-scale wing extensions on an A321neo aircraft to evaluate high-span wing performance in real flight conditions. These tests will help us understand how folding wing geometries impact aircraft handling and efficiency for next-generation single-aisle planes.
For more than 50 years, Airbus has spearheaded innovation in aviation to shape the future of flight.
