Where we are today?
Airbus Research in the UK
With the A350 XWB we are reaching the maximum efficiency we can achieve with
The required step change in
maximum efficiency we can achieve with conventional aircraft design
EfficiencyM(L/D)
q p gperformance can only be achieved through the use of disruptive ‘Frontier’ technologies
Evolution enabled through integration
(NGCW)
At the beginning of the Airbus project the UK capability in wing design
Hawker Siddeley uniquely positioned to design, engineer and manufacture the first Airbus wing (A300)
1950 2000 2050
At the beginning of the Airbus project the UK capability in wing design and engineering was deep and broad and at the very cutting edge

Next Generation Composite Wing Objectives
Overall aims of NGCWTo ensure that mature technologies are available to enable the design, d l t lid ti f t i i d t ti f li ht i htdevelopment, validation, manufacture, equipping and testing of lightweight aerodynamically efficient and economic to produce wings which are optimised with the overall aircraft ensuring minimum environmental impact
Aims of MDOWTo provide mature technologies to build
Aims of HIVOLTo investigate and develop low cost
Aims of INTEQTo develop simplified, reliable, wing system i t ll ti t d
Aims of MINTTo integrate the activities of the
l tfa synthetic environment that will allow fast iteration of the complete wing
manufacturing technologies that will enable high volume wing manufacture for next
installation concepts and compact control surface actuation methods that would support high volume low cost
platforms throughout the project to maximise exploitable output
design process. generation aircraft. volume low cost manufacture.
exploitable output
The output from the INTEQ project consist of emerging technologies for further development and disruptive technology needs.
