Leonardo recently tested an innovative and sustainable flight solution under the Clean Sky 2 programme at Turin’s Caselle airport. The technological demonstrator was integrated into Leonardo C-27J aircraft. The demonstrator is to test innovative morphing surfaces with adaptive technologies and digital flight control algorithms.
The demonstrator will validate the technical solutions conceived and designed by Leonardo’s engineers in Turin and Pomigliano d’Arco, making a significant contribution to reducing the fuel consumption and therefore towards a sustainable and climate neutral aviation – of the future aircraft.
