Aerospace
Through interdisciplinary research and collaboration with industry partners we are driving aerospace innovation.
Research and impact
We accelerate the transition to net-zero aviation by exploring the potential of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), hydrogen, electric, and hybrid technologies. Our work minimises the demand for rare materials by improving material performance and extending in-service life. We are engineering manufacturing techniques that drive a circular economy, focusing on the reuse and recovery of critical aerospace materials. Underpinning these efforts is our commitment to predictive modelling and AI, which drive advancements in aircraft management, performance, and manufacturing.
