Heathrow Airport Limited

Contrails are understood to contribute a significant proportion of aviation's overall climate warming impact. All flights utilising fossil fuel emit CO2 proportionally with fuel burn and therefore contribute CO2-related warming evenly with distance flown. Conversely, warming from contrails is attributable to a minority of flights depending on their flight...

A consortium led by Rolls-Royce, including Cranfield University, easyJet, Heathrow Airport, MTC, Reaction Engines, UCL and University of Oxford is developing gas-turbine control system technologies that will enable aircraft engines to operate on liquid hydrogen. The UK government has a 10 Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, and Jet Zero which pu...

This ambitious 2-year project will develop, evaluate, standardise and operationally deploy the world's first fully automated Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) to conduct 24/7 commercial UAS operations in one of the busiest airports in the world, London Heathrow. The High intensity Autonomous Drone Operations project (HADO) will create a scalable technical an...

The world faces two pressing challenges. Congestion in cities, the lifeblood of national economies, is rising to unacceptable levels. This causes poor health outcomes and strangles economic growth. At the same time, humanity must confront the threat of climate change and reduce its dependence on fossil fuels. The Advanced Mobility Ecosystem Consortium (AM...

CIRIAS - Critical Infrastructure Resilience Integrated Aviation System -- is a programme to develop an integrated end-to-end 'system of systems' to enable unmanned drones to fly long range missions Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS), with the aim of sustaining critical UK infrastructure. The threats of climate change, economic uncertainty, and more recen...

Fly2Plan - _Enabling a new model aviation data system-of-systems_ seeks to develop a new model for aviation data exchange to allow new entrants in urban air mobility and autonomous operations to participate. By researching the use of modern and emerging internet technologies of public cloud infrastructure and distributed ledger technology, the decentralis...

To develop and deploy a new Prevention and Appraisal Methodology and associated Dashboard which will increase construction project success rate and reduce in-project and post-project quality issues.

The London Hydrogen Network Expansion (LHNE) project will create the UK’s first end-to-end, integrated, green hydrogen production, distribution and retailing system, centred around a fully publically accessible, state-of-the-art 700 bar renewable H2 refuelling station network across London, servicing Europe’s largest urban fleet of H2 vehicles. This proje...
