The technology programme “Reduction of aerodynamic drag (RaWid)” for high speed aerodynamics at Daimler-Benz Aerospace Airbus is sponsered by the German ministry for education, research and technology since July 1, 1995. Connected to this industrial programme are the cooperation programmes “MEGAFLOW” under leadership of the DLR and “Transition” by the DFG, and several contributions by DLR and universities.
The programme is oriented towards technologies required for a MEGALINER which gains momentum by the ambitious plans for a new large Airbus A3XX.
In the first year new technological steps were undertaken in theory, design and experiment. Some critical steps were verified by wing designs checked in wind tunnel tests.
