The supporting project work for the 'Wing Section' program should guarantee the application of the aerodynamic test results for an Airbus type aircraft. This was accomplished by determining the market situation up to the 1990's and by taking into consideration the European Airlines Outline Requirements. Possible engine-wing combinations, including rear fuselage installations, are discussed. The final chosen design is similar to the Airbus variant B 10 with a wing area of about 210 sq m. The range of 1500 nm corresponds to the requirements of the European Airlines for short/medium haul aircraft. Differences with the Airbus program are a reduced sweep angle, larger wing thickness, and a wing loading comparable to the B 10 X of HSA. These changed parameters are strongly related to a supercritical wing profile and serve as inputs to the aerodynamic design of the wing.
