Airbus is testing a new type of experimental wing that the company hopes will revolutionize the way planes fly. The new extra-performance wing demonstrator took off for the first time on November 6 from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport in France. The small Cessna Citation VII is part of Airbus' new wing test, which it originally began work on in September 2021.

If the tests are successful, Airbus could create a revolutionary way to improve the way planes use their wings, allowing them to reduce fuel consumption. Airbus says the project is focused on “accelerating and validating technologies that will improve and optimize aerodynamics and wing performance for any future aircraft.”
Airbus has equipped the Citation VII with the new experimental wing, which Airbus says is compatible with new engine solutions and configurations to help reduce overall CO2 emissions from the company's planes. The burning of fossil fuels, such as those used in gasoline, continues to help fuel the ongoing climate change that our planet is experiencing, and Airbus is just one of many trying to take some steps to reduce the emissions that different industries of humanity they create.

The company hasn't shared exactly what's new about the experimental wings, or how much it will affect the company's carbon footprint if they are actually successful and used later. However, this is just one of many projects Airbus has been working on to try to reduce plane emissions and make them more fuel efficient.
While we don't know the details of the new wing experiment, it's reassuring to see companies looking for better ways to reduce fuel consumption on massive vehicles like aircraft, and while it's no doubt heavily pressured by the need to reduce fuel costs, it still works well. for climate change.
