The NEPTUNE project is developing a cutting-edge electric motor for future aircraft propulsion systems that is lighter, more efficient, and better suited to the demands of clean aviation. Led by HiSpeed Ltd, a UK-based specialist in electric motor innovation, the project brings together a strong national team of industrial and academic partners: Brandauer...

HiRACOS (High Rate Aerospace Composite Optimised Structures) addresses the challenge of high-rate composite technologies for Aerospace to allow the rate increase in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and Narrowbody markets. These technologies will then be applied in two technology demonstrators, i.e., an AAM composite rotor blade and a composite nose wheel for t...

The pilot Centre of Expertise for Advanced Materials and Sustainability (CEAMS) (formerly Sustainable Materials Translational Research Centre (SMTRC)) is a collaboration funded by the Innovation Accelerator (IA) programme (2023-2025) via Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and Innovate UK (IUK). It is led by major regional and national stakeholde...

This project will develop light-weight, composite-material pipes for Liquid Hydrogen for use in zero-emissions commercial aircraft. The clean aviation sector is growing rapidly driven by net-zero targets. Hydrogen will replace conventional fossil-fuel powered engines. Traditional pipes for industrial users of liquid Hydrogen are made from stainless steel ...

Air travel has brought families and nations together and connected the remotest places on our globe. It has brought opportunities and enabled the dreams of many. But air travel should not cost us our planet. Business and regional aviation will only remain environmentally and socially acceptable if aircraft propulsion systems are developed that can operate...

Our project will explore the redesign of a modular precast concrete rail platform system, (including the support structure above foundation, slab, and coping stone). We aim to meet the needs of a low-carbon future by investigating the use of non-metallic reinforcement and alternative binders, aligning with Theme 14 'Sustainable solutions for construction ...

To support the UK's ambitious net zero goals and foster sustainable resource management and optimization, it is crucial to establish robust, unified methodologies for evaluating the environmental impacts of both existing and emerging technologies, ensuring alignment with governmental priorities. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the predominant method for ev...

This project will mature and validate a range of innovative materials and processes to underpin a future wide-body Business Class (BC) seat to be known as "EcoSuite" and to enable substantial enhancements to Wide-body First Class (FC) bespoke seats. The innovations introduced via EcoSuite are aimed at addressing market concerns around weight, environmenta...

AVIATION_1 will deliver structure and systems technologies which are required to integrate ultra-efficient and zero-carbon emission engines onto the wings of an aircraft to provide a significant improvement in aircraft efficiency and reduction in CO2 emissions. The next generation of commercial aircraft will use 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Hy...

The primary intent of this proposal is to establish the capability required to secure manufacturing content for the UK on the next generation of composite wing. However, the automated deposition technologies and enabling capabilities will also directly benefit other applications and programmes, such as composite fan cases and Advanced Air Mobility structu...

Hydrogen Zero Emission Maritime (HyZEM) brings together leading UK and Australian technology partners to deliver transformational progress for zero-emission maritime hydrogen innovation. It specifically addresses decarbonisation of vessels through development of interconnected modular hydrogen storage and hydrogen propulsion technologies to de-risk and ac...

Engineering and manufacturing companies need to have flexible but consistent regulations to be able to co-create and collaborate effectively. Sharing data and decisions in a safe and effective way across extended supply chains will dramatically accelerate the introduction to market of new and more sustainable products. The MERGE network will bring togethe...
