WINGS is a €148 million, 56-month project funded by the Walloon Region. It brings together 21 Walloon partners and 280 full-time equivalents to develop technologies for decarbonising aviation by 2050. The project is organised into six work packages: Aerostructures; Propulsion; Communication; Materials and Processes; Digitalisation and Digital Simulation; and Industry 4.0. Launched in October 2020 with support from the Walloon Region, it enables aerospace stakeholders to continue developing technologies for low-carbon aviation. This presentation will review the challenges, initial results and collaborative innovation activities that are helping make the project a success.
