MANEUVER LOAD ALLEVIATION OF THE DRY WING FOR HYDROGEN AIRCRAFT

F. Yu¹, M. Hornung¹; ¹Technical University of Munich, Germany

"Dry wing" fuel relocation in hydrogen aircraft typically imposes a severe wing mass penalty. Using a high-fidelity aeroelastic toolchain on an A320-like configuration, this study proves Maneuver Load Alleviation (MLA) slashes this penalty to <1%. These findings establish MLA as the critical enabler for H2 aviation, resolving a primary structural barrier to the feasibility of zero-emission flight.
