Wing Integrated Assembly Demonstrator (WIreD)

ATI资助的“机翼设计、制造和装配”项目于2017年3月结束，为单通道飞机的高速率/高产量CFRP机翼提供技术解决方案，涵盖概念、设计、CFRP部件制造、机翼装配和工业系统概念。为了实现空客产品战略所要求的开发日期，这些技术需要在2021年底之前在TRL 6上集成到整体机翼配置中。本建议书涉及一个项目，该项目将提供高生产率的全尺寸CFRP机翼装配和装备的物理验证。范围是在典型的工业环境中进行全机翼部件装配、系统装备和测试。这种级别的验证是必不可少的，以减轻在高速提升创新主要集成CFRP组件的实际生产时所涉及的关键风险。““未来之翼”是基于一个创新的碳纤维增强塑料机翼的概念优化高空气动力学和结构性能。通过集成CFRP组件和精益工业系统（高压灭菌器外，模块化组装/装备）确保低再生产成本。该演示机将包括一个17米长的侧箱连接到中央翼盒（由法国空中客车公司提供），起落架和挂架接口，代表性的飞行控制，高升力和燃料系统设备。翼盒将是一个集成组件（导致显着减少钻孔和紧固操作），由成型的干纤维材料注入和固化的高压釜。将在具有代表性的预生产环境中进行试组装和装备。全面的试验对于确保这些概念完全消除风险和足够强大以进入快速工业化和高速率生产至关重要。此外，验证机翼结构方案的公差能力也是关键;这一点在以前的研制计划中一直是评定能力的主要挑战。Spirit AeroSystems公司将运用其丰富的工程经验，为主要机翼结构和附件开发创新的设计构型，这些结构和附件将构成机翼组件的一个组成部分。Spirit将应用最先进的设计原则，优化下一代材料系统的使用，推动更大的部件集成和模块化。鉴于高生产率的目标，先进的工程和技术解决方案将与工业化同步发展。

The ATI funded ‘Wing Design, Manufacture & Assembly’ project which ended in March 2017, delivered technology solutions for a high-rate / high production volume CFRP wing for a single-aisle aircraft, covering the domains of; concept, design, CFRP component manufacture, wing assembly and industrial system concept. In order to achieve the exploitation date required by Airbus product strategy, these technologies need to be integrated into an overall wing configuration at TRL 6 before the end of 2021. This proposal relates to a project which, will provide physical validation at full-scale of high-rate CFRP wing assembly and equipping at high production rate. The scope is full wing component assembly, systems equipping and test in a representative industrial environment. This level of validation is essential in order to mitigate the key risks involved when ramping-up actual production at high-rate of innovative major integrated CFRP components.‘Wing of the Future’ is based around an innovative CFRP wing concept optimised for high aerodynamic and structural performance. Low recurring-cost will be secured via integrated CFRP components and lean industrial system (out-of-autoclave, modular assembly / equipping). The demonstrator will comprise a 17m lateral-box joined to centre wing-box (supplied from Airbus France), landing-gear and pylon interfaces, representative Flight Control, High Lift and Fuel systems equipment.The wing-box will be an integrated component (resulting in significant reduction in drilling and fastening operations) made from formed dry-fibre material infused and cured out-of-autoclave. Trial assembly and equipping will be carried-out in a representative pre-production environment. Full-scale trials are essential to ensure that the concepts are fully de-risked and robust enough to launch into rapid industrial ramp-up and high-rate production. Furthermore, it is key that tolerance capability of the wing build-concept is validated; this aspect has been a major challenge to rate capability in previous development programmes.Spirit AeroSystems will apply its vastly experienced engineering capability to develop innovative design configurations for primary wing structures and movables that will form an integral part of the wing assembly. State of the art design principles will be applied by Spirit to optimise the use of the next generation material systems driving greater part integration and modularity. Given the high production-rate targets, the advanced engineering and technology solutions will be developed in unison with industrialisation.
