New Generation Wings for Greener Aircraft

Dear Colleagues,

With this Topic, we aim to focus on new-generation wings, which strive to meet the increasingly strict requirements for greener aircraft, and contribute to the competitiveness of the aerospace sector. Among others, attention is paid to the following topics:

• Morphing systems
• Natural laminar flow and aerodynamic cutting-edge technologies
• Load control and alleviation strategies
• Advanced wing box structures
• Unconventional wing subsystems as structural health monitoring and ice protection We are looking forward to your contribution.

With best regards,

Dr. Salvatore Ameduri
