Delta Air Lines has announced its commitment to collaborate with Airbus in the development of cutting-edge aerospace technologies. The partnership will focus on new wing designs, as well as exploring efficiencies that can be achieved when large jets fly in formation. This collaboration will take place through Airbus’ UpNext innovation unit, dedicated to advancing aerospace engineering.
As part of the collaboration, Delta will test how the aerodynamic performance of large aircraft can be optimized by flying in closely coordinated formations. The initiative aims to reduce fuel consumption and improve overall operational efficiency, further supporting Delta’s sustainability goals in air travel.
The partnership with Airbus is a significant step forward in Delta’s ongoing efforts to embrace innovation and technology, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the aviation industry.
