Clean Sky/ SFWA-ITD BLADE FLIGHTLAB The flagship laminar flow project AIRBUS SAS 26 th of September 2017 SFWA/BLADE Paris Air Show ( Le Bourget) – 21st June 2017
Laminar technology 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: Atmospheric Acoustic disturbances insects, grease, de- icing fluids, scratches, dents, erosion, dust, … and vibrations disturbances What influences the existence of a natural laminar flow on an industrial wing ? Joint & filler System Wing global Wing local Fastener head deformation integration deformation deformation deformation
