SFWA/BLADE Paris Air Show ( Le Bourget) – 21st June 2017
AIRBUS SAS
Up to 8% drag reduction potential for a short range aircraft vs. a turbulent wing Up to 5% fuel burn saving on 800 NM mission Mastering laminar/turbulent transition in line with industrial requirements
Leading edge and wing contamination: insects, grease, de-icing fluids, scratches, dents, erosion, dust, … Atmospheric disturbances Acoustic disturbances and vibrations Wing global deformation Wing local deformation Joint & filler deformation Fastener head deformation System integration
