Wing of Tomorrow - Full Scale Component Demonstrator

Full-Scale Demonstrator for Future Wing Production

The aviation industry is under increasing pressure to reduce emissions, improve fuel efficiency, and accelerate production rates. To meet these challenges, we have developed a full-scale demonstrator for future wing production, showcasing advanced composite technologies and innovative manufacturing processes.

This demonstrator combines large-scale thermoset/thermoplastic composite structures with optimized tooling and process automation. By integrating stringer-reinforced designs, out-of-autoclave processes, and scalable RTM technology, the approach proves that next-generation aircraft wings can be produced more efficiently, with shorter cycle times and reduced manufacturing costs.

Key advantages include:

Weight savings through high-performance composite design

Industrial scalability for large structural components

Improved sustainability, with less material waste and lower energy consumption

High structural integrity, ensuring durability and safety in demanding flight conditions

By building and validating a full-scale wing demonstrator, we bridge the gap between laboratory research and industrial application. The project demonstrates how innovative composite manufacturing can support future aircraft programs, enabling lighter, more efficient, and environmentally responsible wings.

This milestone represents a clear step toward the next generation of aerospace manufacturing, positioning composites as a cornerstone for future wing design and serial production.
