Sam Lee joined the ATI in September 2023 as a senior technologist in the systems and propulsion team. Prior to this appointment, he worked in the fan and compressor aerodynamics team at Rolls-Royce supporting a range of projects, including UltraFan. He obtained an MSc in aerodynamics from Cranfield University and a PhD in turbine aerodynamics from the University of Huddersfield.
Facilitating the future of ultra-efficient aviation
The ATI has published the UK Aerospace Technology Strategy, Destination Zero and continues to support technology development in the UK to make this vision a reality. Part of this future vision includes more electric and hybrid aircraft. This presentation will provide an update on some of the key ATI-funded projects that are making ultra-efficient and zero-carbon aviation a reality. Additionally, a summary of the technology bricks that ATI has identified as the key drivers toward hybridization in aviation will be shared and discussed.
