Airbus lança demonstrador de asa de alto desempenho
September 30, 2021 -
A Airbus está a investigar uma “asa de maior desempenho” capaz de
mudar de forma durante o voo, no âmbito dos esforços para tornar os
futuros aviões mais eficientes e reduzir as emissões de carbono.
The proposed new wing would include various technologies, including “pop-up spoilers” or wing surfaces to alter its profile and get the best performance, just as a bird twists its feathers, Airbus officials said.
The company will test the technology under Airbus UpNext, a subsidiary which concentrates on research and development of future technologies.
Airbus aims to fly the extra-performance wing demonstrator aircraft by the middle of the decade.
