W3.airbus [VERIFIED]
In the early 2000s, Airbus—like many multinationals—suffered from "information silos." Different divisions (Commercial Aircraft, Helicopters, Defence & Space) used separate intranets with inconsistent access protocols. The w3.airbus initiative was launched to unify these systems under a single, secure, web-based portal.
One of the most visually striking aspects of W3 research is the potential for folding wing tips. While the Boeing 777X has introduced a folding mechanism for ground handling (to fit into airport gates), Airbus’s W3 research looks at folding for aerodynamic purposes. w3.airbus
