This paper resumes the activities done in the framework of the Clean Sky 2 AIRGREEN2 project, where an Innovative Wing Tip (IWT) device was designed, built, and tested. The IWT is equipped with an actively controlled movable surface for the active load reduction of the gust and maneuver load alleviation (MLA/GLA). The design involved several disciplines like aerodynamics, structure, actuation, sensing and control. Intermediate wind tunnel models and ground demonstrator provided experimental evidence of the reliability of the concept. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the process that led to the manufacturing of the IWT, which will be tested in flight by the end of 2023.

Abstract
This paper resumes the activities done in the framework of the Clean Sky 2 AIRGREEN2 project, where an Innovative Wing Tip (IWT) device was designed, built, and tested. The IWT is equipped with an actively controlled movable surface for the active load reduction of the gust and maneuver load alleviation (MLA/GLA). The design involved several disciplines like aerodynamics, structure, actuation, sensing and control. Intermediate wind tunnel models and ground demonstrator provided experimental evidence of the reliability of the concept. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the process that led to the manufacturing of the IWT, which will be tested in flight by the end of 2023.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
