Airbus Begins Flight Testing on Its New ‘Smart Wing’ Inspired by Birds

 



Airbus has started flight tests on the Morphing Smart Wing, a revolutionary system inspired by the way birds flex their wings during turbulence.

How the Smart Wing Works

  • Uses shape-shifting wing surfaces

  • Hingeless flaps

  • Memory-alloy actuators

  • Real-time aerodynamic control

Benefits

  • Significant turbulence reduction

  • Lower drag

  • Up to 4% fuel savings

  • Less structural fatigue

  • Smoother ride for passengers

Why This Is Going Viral

This technology could replace traditional flaps and ailerons on future commercial aircraft.
