Airbus has completed key tests at its site near Bristol of new aircraft wing technology it says could help decarbonise the aviation industry.
The aerospace giant has run wind-tunnel trials of its eXtra Performance Wing demonstrator at its base in Filton, South Gloucestershire.
Launched last September, Airbus has said the project aims to improve wing aerodynamics and performance in a bid to reduce CO2 emissions, and is intended to be compatible with any future aircraft configuration and propulsion system.
