Wingdisplay
Wingdisplay is a term used to describe a display surface integrated into the wing structure of an aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It encompasses technologies that render information on or within the wing skin, using light-emitting devices such as micro-LEDs, OLEDs on flexible substrates, or reflective/e-ink panels. Wingdisplay can be used to convey flight data, system status, navigation cues, or branding to external observers, and in some designs may support pilot or ground crew signaling as a supplement to conventional cockpit instruments.
Development and use: The concept has appeared mainly in research programs and prototype demonstrations since the
Technology and design challenges: Key considerations include weight, power consumption, cooling, and reliability under vibration and
Applications and outlook: Potential uses include external data visualization for observers during airshows, helicopter or fixed-wing
