The 9 m (30 ft) metallic outboard section with a carbon fiber reinforced plastic upper laminar flow surface is isolated from the rest of the wing and has two ailerons on each side. Its wing sweep is around 20° for a Mach 0.75 cruise, instead of 30° for a Mach 0.82–0.84 cruise.
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 design uses a new tapered planform wing, employing a laminar flow airfoil, which meets the EASA CS-23 requirements for low speed handling and stall characteristics without a ballistic parachute, although a parachute is approved and available as a factory option. [1] The aircraft may be equipped for IFR flight. For training use it may be ...
Designs for supersonic airliners began in the mid-20th century, and by the 1970s we had supersonic passenger flight. There was the little-known Russian Tupolev-144 and Concorde, a Franco-British ...
The Elixir Aircraft Elixir is a 2010s French two-seat light aircraft designed and built by Elixir Aircraft. [1] The aircraft is certified CS-23 by the European Aviation Safety Agency [2] and is being certified FAA FAR 23. [3] The aircraft was announced at the Paris Air Show 2015 in the form of 2 models.

The Blackwing is the result of a research project commenced in the 1990s, culminating in wind tunnel tests and a 350-hour prototype flight test program. It was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules with a version at a gross weight of 472.5 kg (1,042 lb) and US light-sport aircraft rules with a version with a gross weight of 600 kg (1,323 lb).
The European company scored a symbolic win, however, when United Airlines lined up leases for 35 Airbus jets because of delays that Boeing faces in getting its new, larger Max 10 approved by U.S ...
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.
