EUROPE'S AIRBUS -- THE WORLD'S QUIETEST AND MOST FUEL EFFICIENT WIDE-BODIED AIRLINER

The versatile Airbus is flying in airline service on the world's most advanced sub-sonic civil aircraft wing. Designed and manufactured in Britain by Hawker Siddeley Aviation, the wing is already providing Airbus operators with the economic benefits of supercritical aerodynamic technology that other manufacturers are promising for future designs. The article discusses general aspects of the overall design, and of the wing in particular.
