The Protocol Programme: the Fuel & Inserting Research for Systems Technologies (FIRST)

第一个项目是为下一个全新的空中客车产品在集成机翼级别获得一套强大的创新技术。该项目的目的是利用NGCW的主要成果，进一步扩大所确定的新技术和集成方法的潜力，为2014年开始的英国“未来之翼”计划做准备。通过FIRST内部进行的技术开发和大规模钻机测试，在英国，空客菲尔顿基地和其他英国测试设施的测试能力将得到提高。FIRST内部的工作将导致建立和升级测试台，以在模拟飞行条件下进行燃料系统测试。

The FIRST project is to secure a robust set of innovative technologies, at the integrated wing-level, for the next all-new Airbus product. The aim of this project is to take the key outcomes from NGCW and to further expand the potential of the novel technologies and integration methods identified, in order to prepare for the UK ‘Wing of the Future’ programme which is required to start in 2014.Through technology development and large scale rig testing undertaken within FIRST, testing capability will be improved within the UK both at Airbus Filton site and at other UK based testing facilities. Work within FIRST will lead to build and upgrade of test rigs to perform fuel systems testing under simulated flight conditions.
