 * 1) Probably some refs could be removed, but not this much. They have additional info.
 * 2) An intro must explain names: yours do not.
 * 3) Although you never mentioned it, i think my sentences are too long for you?
 * 4) A321neo-plus-plus info not exactly calculated and outdated: Don't like it.92.116.104.171 (talk) 14:02, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Future-wing project and A322 by marc
Airbus launched a new wing program in Filton in 2015. In 2016, Airbus announced a €44.8 million facility dedicated to wing development and test there, to open in 2017 with 300 engineers. In 2017, Airbus announced its "Wing of the future" programme, to be based in Filton. A new 1-2 billion carbon-composite wing could be used in the A321neo-plus-plus, compared to $15 billion for a completely new design. Other Airbus locations in the UK, France, Spain and Germany are working with 30 partners on this wing project. Airbus has already composite wings on the A350 and A220.

Manufacturing would use greater automation, reducing costs to match today's metal wing. To compete with a Boeing 737 replacement, the A320 series could be upgraded with a lightweight, more efficient wing, including a final A322 stretch, by four rows. The longer and thinner wing should improve aerodynamic performance and fuel efficiency, but would require folding tips to access existing airport gates. By may 2021, assembly of the first demonstrator was to start in the coming weeks, as the project should be completed by 2023 before an eventual product launch. A “radical” A320 makeover could cost over 4 billion euros ($4.9 billion), way less the $15 billion to $20 billion for an all-new design for Boeing.

In 2015, Airbus started its "Wing of the future" programme, also called the Future-wing project or "Wing of Tomorrow" programme. The design and multiple simultaneous tests take place in a dedicated €44.8 million facility in Filton, executed by 300 engineers in this building. Other Airbus locations in the UK, France, Spain and Germany are working with 30 partners on this wing project. The advantageous composite wing is first seen as an upgrade to the existing, mostly metal A320 family wing, which was already upgraded many times.

In May 2021, Partridge announced that for improved aerodynamic performance the wing will be longer and thinner with folding wingtips to access existing airport gates. Airbus has already composite wings on the A350 and A220, but this will be an enhanced, new design with highly automated manufacturing suitable for inexpensive high-volume production. The wing project is planned to be completed in 2023, with the design for implementation to aircraft starting after that date.

Due to the increased length and increased lift, the new wings could also be used on an Airbus A322, an A321 lengthened by 4 passenger seat-rows, being studied by Airbus.
