Abstract
Generational improvement in transport aircraft led to aggressive reductions in noise, emissions, and fuel burn. Technological advances needed across many fronts (aerodynamics, propulsion, alternative fuels, acoustics, structures). Broad structures-centric goals (for wings): stabilize flexibility in minimum-weight wings; and exploit flexibility to reduce wing loading/drag via load redistribution and wing shaping.
