Defence
Airbus will be presenting its new Wingman concept at the International Aerospace Exhibition ILA in Berlin.

The combination also lowers workload at the flight deck, opening the way for smart automation in the skies. A new Airbus UpNext demonstrator sets out to show how. It’s unconventional, to say the least.
