ATI, Innovate UK and UK ARC, in partnership with Clean Aviation, are hosting this clinic for UK organisations interested in learning more about the upcoming European funding opportunities. UK academics have made significant contributions to and gained from participating in EU research programs over the years. With Clean Aviation’s next call ahead, this event provides […]
Universities of Nottingham and Warwick are involved with Pratt & Whitney Canada and Collins Aerospace in a new project to supply hybrid electric powertrain technology to Airbus. Read more HERE
The University of Nottingham recently also secured more than £70 million to establish new world-leading and open-access research facilities and programmes that will decarbonise future transport, including aviation. The funding is secured based on a £14 million award from the UK Research Partnership Investment Fund (UKRPIF). This is augmented by both public and private […]
Altair has signed a memorandum of understanding with the UK-based University of Nottingham for a digital twin project within the aerospace sector. The digital twin—set to be the first of its kind—will not merely be a technology demonstrator, but a fully-fledged solution the industry can use to rapidly design, validate, and test the electric propulsion […]
Involving the Universities of Nottingham and Manchester, GKN Aerospace Launches H2FlyGHT: Pioneering £44M Project for 2 MW Cryogenic Hydrogenn-Electric Propulsion GKN Aerospace has launched H2FlyGHT, a revolutionary £44 million project. This initiative will develop a 2-megawatt (MW) cryogenic hydrogen-electric propulsion system, setting new standards for the future generation of larger sustainable aircraft. It is a […]
Come and see us at Farnborough. UK-ARC is established as a key part to the UK aerospace and aviation ecosystem, gathering academic knowledge and sharing it with industry and other stakeholders. We are working with the AGP on the Strategic Aerospace Research Forum, with the ATI on its non-CO2 roadmap and with the Hydrogen Capability […]
Bristol Composites Institute researchers have developed a new tool to investigate the Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) deposition process. The device aims to accelerate research into a wide range of AFP related topics. This links to the interests of the UK-ARC Materials and Manufacturing theme geared towards composites manufacturing. Research-based Automated Deposition: A new material characterisation […]
The workings of the ultrasonic warning sounds produced by the wings of a species of moth have been revealed by researchers at the University of Bristol Composites Institute. Structural buckling and sound production are rarely studied together, despite being reciprocal phenomena. In addition, buckling occurs as a sudden large deformation which can be attractive as […]
The mystery of how futuristic aircraft embedded engines, featuring an energy-conserving arrangement, make noise has been solved by researchers at the University of Bristol. Electric ducted fan mounted next to the curved surface. Boundary layer ingesting (BLI) ducted fan test rig inside the aeroacoustics wind tunnel facility at the University […]
Research into improved aerodynamic performance and acoustic signature reduction are challenge areas for the UK-ARC More Energy Efficient Aircraft theme so this enhanced capability which can support collaborative projects aimed at next generation aviation.
