Reviews the evolution of British Aerospace’s wing production facilities at Chester and Filton in the UK and on the design of the wings for the Airbus series of aircraft, from the first set of wings designed for the A300 in 1971 through to the A340-500 and 600 and the A3XX. Reports on the design of the completely new wing for the A320 which was the first to incorporate fly-by-wire and other technologies. Discusses the design of load alleviation for defined manoeuvre and gust cases and the impact of a change in the airworthiness design case requirements on the design of the wing for the A321 and subsequent aircraft. Finally, the article examines the fully automated parts store at the British Aerospace Wing Centre at Filton.
