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 Strojnik S-2 self-launching sailplane, the S-4 and S-5 sport planes, and Strojnik's Laminar Aircraft three-volume book series had great impact on light aircraft design. The S-4 "Laminar Magic" set a U.S. national aviation speed record in Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) Category C-1a/0 (European microlight, under 300 ...
The fractional aircraft operator Avantair was Piaggio's largest client, with a fleet of 57 Avanti aircraft, [28] before they went bankrupt and the fleet was liquidated. [77] [78] In May 2017, 220 aircraft were in operation around the world, [79] with 89 being first-generation Avanti, 126 second-generation Avanti II and 6 Avanti EVO models. [80]
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 ...

NATO's top commander said on Thursday he did not believe Russia's military has deployed enough troops to make a strategic breakthrough in the region around Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine. General ...
It may carry only a fraction of the total number of yearly air passengers in Europe (around 3.5m pax/year) yet, with a fleet of 3,500 jet and turboprop aircraft [7] it allows the connection of around 100,000 airport-pairs, three times more than low-cost and legacy carriers together
