Civil aircraft wing design faces a growing challenge to improve the fidelity of performance predictions. Recognising that improving performance relies on small refinements and that the success of a design can depend on the mitigation of complex aerodynamic risks, the Enhanced Fidelity Transonic Wing (EFT) project addresses this challenge.
The EFT project significantly enhances the performance assessment fidelity of transonic wings, reducing risk and uncertainty in the aircraft design process, and enabling aircraft to be driven to higher performance standards.
