This chapter assesses a future wing design for a single‐aisle aircraft consisting of an in‐plane cantilevered slender wing made of selected sustainable materials regarding wing weight and other critical aircraft‐related aspects. In the field of structural analysis, the well‐established and reliable finite element analysis has been vastly used among researchers and the aerospace industry to model structures and to predict their behavior under the application of loads. It focuses on advanced certificated non‐destructive testing methods for damage detection and characterization in composite laminates for use in the aircraft's primary and secondary structures. The chapter analyzes symmetric and asymmetric wingbox structures via a Ritz solution procedure technique. Optimizing composite materials aircraft wings has been a subject of extensive scientific studies. Timely and effective flight regime recognition is one of the key tasks for structural usage monitoring, which can provide early warning to the dangerous regime.
