Airbus SE is working on an elongated carbon-composite wing with folding tips that could feature on its next-generation airliner, as the European manufacturer seeks to eke out more fuel savings and ...

Antonio Hernandez Martin de Arriva, Clean Aviation chief engineer at Airbus Defence & Space, says the overall fuel-burn reduction goal from the new wing is 50% at aircraft level.

Wing design is one of the main areas of competition between Airbus and Boeing, which brought previously outsourced wing expertise in-house with a composite wing centre for its 777X.

Airbus test pilots will conduct the flight-test program from the ground. The wing will be representative of a 52-m wing on a single-aisle aircraft, whereas the A320 family uses a 36-m wing.

Sam Marnick, chief operating officer of Spirit, says the activity will take advantage of the company’s “composite and wing capabilities” to develop the 16m (52ft)-wide single-piece structure.
