Q:

What does wing integration mean?

A:

Wing integration usually means the combining of multiple, new technologies into a new type of airplane or to improve an old design. For example, Airbus is looking toward making airplanes that are able to save more fuel and be better on the environment by integrating new technologies into their wings. The largest project on this topic is the Agile Wing Integration, which is looking at finding the best way to reduce carbon emissions.
