Meggitt Aerospace Limited

The Surf Additive project sees Parker Meggitt and NPL team up to develop a surface texture characterisation method for additively manufactured metal parts, to enable accurate measurement of true dimensions. As-printed parts have high surface texture which makes accurately establishing the true gauge diameter of tensile test bars uncertain, leading to inac...

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...

HyFIVE is a strategic industrial research programme to develop and test a smart, connected liquid hydrogen (LH2) fuel system for the next generation of zero emission aircraft, led by a UK based consortium of major aerospace suppliers. The 4-year programme aims to grow the UK aerospace industry while responding to the government's Net Zero Strategy carbon ...

The Ultra Performance Wing project will validate, down select, mature and demonstrate key technologies and provide the architectural integration of “ultra-performance wing” concepts for targeted ultra-efficient Short/Medium Range aircraft (SMR), i.e. 150-250 PAX and 1000-2000nm range. The project directly addresses the Clean Aviation objectives: fuel burn...

Project Butterfly brings together a consortium of UK high value and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) organisations working across sectors, along with solution providers and research organisations to share best practice and demonstrate the power of I4.0 to deliver near-term impact on the road to net zero manufacturing. The climate emergency is an importan...

Development and qualification of disruptive large-scale laser powder-bed fusion machines (LPBF) to enable agile production of lightweight, high-performance aerospace components of up to 0.5m in scale, with a roadmap towards 1m. The machines will reduce component costs by delivering unprecedented build rates by delivering multiple laser beams, by full buil...

Public description Industrial Digital Technologies (IDT's) are disrupting industries across the globe. The breadth and depth of these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production, management, and governance. There is overwhelming evidence that IDTs can provide a step change in industrial productivity(2). The Smart Connected Factory is...

The Ultra High Bypass Ratio (UHBR) engine thermal management systems project, UHBR Thermals, is a technology research project addressing oil heat management, a key enabler for next-generation UHBR turbofan aero engines. Next generation UHBR engines will be much more efficient than current engines, and will feature a larger fan driven by a power gearbox; a...

The SEAMLESS project represents a major technical and commercial advance in the area ofpost processing for additive manufacturing. The poor surface quality for AM parts has been amajor barrier for full process adoption, which will be addressed in this project. The SEAMLESSsolution combines a number of surface finishing and post processing technologies inc...

This project matures key technologies that will reduce costs to the operator; save fuel; improve ground operations; simplify manufacturing and simplify maintenance. The Project also defines how these Technologies will be deployed together on a future Wing/LG configuration for the first time successfully. Airbus will work with multiple partners and sub-con...

The aim is to develop a new lightweight wheel technology for aircraft. The new wheels will utilise some of the latest advances in materials engineering. The programme will utilise latest advances made in the automotive sector and apply them in the aviation market. Key requirements include very high toughness demonstrating excellent impact strength at low ...
