The Subsonic Fixed Wing Project conducts research to improve prediction methods and technologies that will produce lower noise, lower emissions, and higher performing subsonic aircraft for the Next Generation Air Transportation System. Subproject: FW Structural Efficiency: Lightweight, multi-objective and multifunctional structures (e.g., structures that can carry load and attenuate noise at the same time) are being developed to reduce the weight of both airframes and engines. Adaptive and flexible wing structures with aeroelastic tailoring offer significant weight reduction due to the elimination of a heavy actuation system. Extensive use of polymer matrix composites (PMCs) in airframe and engine structures (where applicable) will offer significant weight reduction opportunities. Research on composite technology is focused on developing alternate processes that will enable fabrication of large structures, increasing the temperature capability toward greater usage in engine and supersonic airframe structures, developing advanced structural concepts, and modeling damage initiation and progression in composite structures.
