Presentation

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.
