Two studies are described in which CAD methods are used for preliminary design of advanced earth-to-orbit transport wings. The first structural concept was a multilayer honeycomb wing composed of diffusion-bonded Inconel 718; the second concept (in which structural simplicity was sought) involved a honeycomb sandwich wing, for which only a leading edge and trailing edge spar were used. Some new technologies applicable to advanced wing designs are briefly discussed.
