Big news from the #AirbusUpNext team in Cazaux, France! 🇫🇷 We're thrilled to announce that our eXtra Performance Wing demonstrator has reached a major milestone: the new, revolutionary wings are fully assembled on our #CessnaCitation VII test aircraft. ✈️ Remember when we cut the original wings off late last year? ✂️ Today, the aircraft has been completely transformed, with longer, lighter, and more intelligent wings that will allow us to test innovative aerodynamics and active control surface

Here's a detailed look at the technologies of the Racer high speed demonstrator! The aircraft has recently completed its first flight, allowing the flight test team to begin the flight campaign. They will be verifying the overall behaviour of the aircraft, progressively opening up the aircraft's flight envelope and demonstrating its high-speed capabilities. The Racer is a Clean Sky 2 research project with 40 partners in 13 European countries. #AirbusHelicopters #Racer #Innovation | Airbus Helico
