Review on the Development of TBW Configuration Civil Aircraft: History, Progress and Prospect
摘要
The increasingly severe issues related to energy and the environment have placed higher demands on the rapidly developing global aviation industry. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) have set the goal of achieving zero carbon emissions in the civil aviation transportation industry by 2050, continuously publishing and updating relevant technology roadmaps. Among aerodynamic technologies, the Truss Braced Wing (TBW) layout has garnered widespread attention both domestically and internationally due to its potential as an ideal solution for future commercial aircraft. This paper briefly reviews the development history of TBW technology globally, with a focus on summarizing the major advancements in TBW design technology in recent years, and a typical strut wing structure was optimized with preliminary results analyzed. The advantages and challenges of TBW technology is analyzed. Furthermore, the paper provides an outlook on the future development of TBW technology, offering a reference for the development of future commercial aircraft in China.
