H2FlyGHT is a strategic industrial research programme as part of an international flight demonstration programme led by Embraer with an objective to develop and test a fully integrated liquid hydrogen fuel system, fuel cell power generation system and cryogenic electrical propulsion system for the next generation of zero emission aircraft. The H2FlyGHT pr...

The PHOENIX programme is primed to solve the significant technical, safety, certification and industrialisation challenges associated with pumping LH2 in aviation and those identified by the UK Government’s Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) FlyZero programme and subsequent “Destination Zero” strategy. The project delivers a prototype demonstration in L...

By enabling Additive Manufacturing (AM) parts in highly regulated sectors, DAEDALUS will help make the UK the place to manufacture the products that will drive the future of the world, addressing the UK Grand Challenges \[1\] (future electric aircraft for urban mobility and clean growth, and medical devices for ageing society).The adoption of AM in these ...

The Diffusion Bonded Aero Heat Exchanger project will bring new technology to heat exchangers for aeronautical applications. A collaboration including Meggitt Control Systems, Heatric, Precision Micro, S&C Thermofluids, Vacuum Furnace Engineering, and The Open University will develop the technologies required to conduct deep chemical etching of aluminium ...

The combination of high fuel prices and more stringent emissions legislation (particularly IMO Tier III) has led to an increasing interest in waste heat recovery technologies across the marine sector. Gas turbines reject a large quantity of heat to the atmosphere compared with their reciprocating counterparts. Recovery of this heat using a bottoming cycle...

This project is developing a novel electric potential sensing technique for use in gas turbine engine monitoring. Specifically the project seeks to optimise the sensor for measurement of ultra-high temperature. This could lead to an industry first of measuring combustion exit temperature, which would have a significant impact on engine efficiency, fuel co...
