The left laminar flow wing section. Natural laminar flow is opposed to hybrid laminar flow artificially induced through hardware. It is difficult to industrialise a wing smooth enough to sustain the laminar flow in operation, due to having very low design and manufacturing tolerances, leading-edge retractable slats, and fasteners, that is aerodynamically robust enough, and can withstand ...
The Breakthrough Laminar Aircraft Demonstrator in Europe (BLADE) is an Airbus project within the framework to flight-test experimental laminar-flow wing sections on an A340 from September 2017. [4] Other examples of hardware that have been developed with the support of Clean Sky include:
The marketing name A 210 is usually used to refer to Aquila's light side by side two seat aircraft, though its official engineering and certification name is Aquila AT01. Design work started in 1997 and the first flight was made in March 2000. [1] The A 210 is entirely built from carbon and glass fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP and GFRP). CRFP ...
The aircraft wing has a light alloy spar and wing box, with a carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer leading edge. The 9.0 m (29.5 ft) span wing is equipped with slotted flaps of 75% span, plus frise ailerons. The standard engine employed is the 75 kW (101 hp) Rotax 912iSc four-stroke certified powerplant.

The aircraft is made from composite materials. Its 9.0 m (29.5 ft) span wing mounts flaps . Standard engines available are the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS and 912iS, and the turbocharged 115 hp (86 kW) Rotax 914 four-stroke powerplants, driving a three-bladed PowerMax propeller.
In the latest round of their decades-long battle for dominance in commercial aircraft, Europe’s Airbus established a clear sales lead over Boeing even before the American company encountered ...
