Another major technological initiative to break cover at the recent Farnborough International Airshow was the upcoming flight-test phase of Airbus’s Wing of Tomorrow program. The project aims to develop next-generation airliner wings so long that they will need to fold at the tip to operate at existing commercial airports.If you ever found yourself passing time at an airfield watching a glider, one of the first things you would notice is the wings.
