Matthew Swift

Initially graduating as a design engineer from the University of Bournemouth, Matthew has taken a broad approach to developing his engineering career, finishing a graduate development program at Cobham plc before returning to university to complete an MSc in mechanical engineering. This led to two years at JLR as a lead engineer focusing on developing new systems for emerging products, then transferring across to academia as technology officer for WMG where he held a leadership position in the HVMC’s hydrogen and skills development pieces. Joining Reaction Engines in 2022, Swift now leads the product development of hydrogen heat exchangers.

Presentation

Flying Hy – enabling zero-carbon flight

Presented by Matt Swift, product development lead for hydrogen heat exchangers, this segment will explore where Reaction Engines are applying their novel thermal management technologies to tackle the issues around hydrogen-fueled flight. Building on the shoulders of decades of cutting-edge development in the space sector, this expertise is now driving the next generation of green transportation, aiming to offer system-level efficiency gains while ensuring safety, reliability and repeatability. Participating in a number of funded programs, this presentation will also provide a window into those activities and outline where this funding is creating value.
