Smart high-lift technologies

Lower environmental impact and a higher efficiency are primary demands for the next generation aircraft. Especially drag reduction for higher fuel-efficiency and the reduction of noise of arriving and departing air traffic in the vicinity of airports become more important. Innovative slot less high-lift systems could be the key to meet the demands and technical challenges:

• Significant noise reduction by slot less design
• Smooth contour as enabler for laminar flow
• Optimized lightweight compatible composite design
• Energy-saving actuators by more electrically operated actuators
• Reduced complexity by robust, integral design
