ALADINA

Airbus is committed to the transition to new technologies that will, on one hand, significantly reduce the net emissions produced by the aeronautical sector and, on the other, meet the high demands for aircraft expected in the coming years.

This must also be done while addressing the needs of airlines, who are demanding more competitive aircraft that allow them to acquire and operate them at increasingly reduced costs.

With these premises, the ALADINA project was created with the main objective of researching the technologies and industrial systems for the wing skins of the company's future programs. It will start with large-scale prototypes and analyze new, more aggressive wing geometries to reduce their weight and, consequently, their fuel consumption, while ensuring their production system achieves high production rates at a competitive cost for airlines.

The ALADINA project, reference IDI-20240743, has been funded by the Centre for the Development of Technology and Innovation through the program for individual R&D projects linked to the PERTE Aerospace within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, financed by the European Union "NextGenerationEU."
