New Delhi:-  Airbus continues to invest in its innovation capabilities in the UK, today opening a new Wings Technology Development Center (WTDC) at its Filton location. The facility was opened by the UK Secretary of State for Commerce, Nusrat Ghani, to build and test demonstrators for various programs and research projects.

The new facility will help Airbus accelerate the development, construction, and testing of next-generation aircraft wings by leveraging the latest technology and world-class demonstrator to further improve wing performance.

Alongside engine optimization, wing lengthening, slimming, and weight reduction will improve fuel efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions, and ultimately reduce aviation to net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. One of the biggest opportunities for industry goals.

Sue Partridge, Head of Airbus Filton Site and Wings of Tomorrow Program explains: ‘‘The new Wing Technology Development Center will help us conduct utility-based research. A key component of our next-generation aircraft wing technology offering is our Wing of Tomorrow (WoT), program.

“Last week we achieved an important milestone in our program when the second wing demonstrator was completed and handed over to the WTDC by a team in Broughton, Wales. Prepared for structural testing at (AIRTeC). 

The WT program will enable Airbus to research new manufacturing and assembly technologies so future generations can continue to benefit from aviation.

“It's about preparing people, technology, industrial systems, supply chains, and digital and physical capabilities for the next generation of aircraft.” Identify critical technology bottlenecks. We can delay the future too. The foundation we are laying now will help us build better and faster when the time comes. "

WTDC complements Airbus' existing research and technology sites in the UK, including the Advanced Manufacturing Research Center (AMRC) in Broughton, and both his ZEROe development center and Aerospace Integrated Research and Test Center (AIRTeC) at the Filton facility.

Since 2014, Airbus has received £117 million from the Aerospace Institute for Wings of Tomorrow-related research.

The AIRBUS is developing its wings that include Demonstrators and which are the Static Wing, Fully-Equipped, and the Run Rate Demonstrator to know the actual working of the installation of the wings.

This technology will help the AIRBUS planes to increase the span of the wing to increase the lift and will help to reduce the drag and also will improve fuel efficiency.
