Hear about project SafeZone – a world first real-time aerodynamic information system for autonomous flight in urban areas. SafeZone will deliver safer and more efficient UAVs by enabling real time information on potential hazards to inform re-routing decisions. To develop the project further, the team seek: UTM data service providers and/or communications experts; 5G experts; platform developers; airports; drone port and/or infrastructure developers.

Hear from project 2Zero who aim to demonstrate the first 19-seat hybrid electric aircraft. The project uses a holistic systems approach to simulate and physically demonstrate the viability of electric aircraft in regional air transport operations in a scalable ecosystem using modelling and simulation tools to optimise flights.

Hear from the team responsible for creating a novel fully optimised model to integrate and optimise freight and logistics operations. Building on the Alan Turing Institute’s BlueBird family of aviation simulation tools to include delivery UAV’s, the project will integrate multi-modal ground-based freight networks to provide optimal routing schedules across the full spectrum of future electric and sustainable delivery modes.

Join us to hear from project HEART – Hydrogen Electric and Automated Regional Transportation – who are developing a zero carbon, affordable, scalable and safer sub-regional air transport network capable of carrying 9-19 passengers.

The Future Flight Challenge is a £125m government investment delivered by UKRI to advance the next generation of aviation solutions. To help businesses consider how to make their vehicle or technology more accessible to their prospective customers, KTN and UKRI have commissioned CCD Design and Ergonomics to deliver an online workshop focusing on human-centred design.

KTN is pleased to announce an opportunity to undertake a two to three month placement for a chemistry or materials student who has a particular interest and expertise in batteries and electrification.

The WOB (Women on Boards) talk ‘7 reasons why being on a board is good for your career’ has been designed to support women and men to think strategically about board roles as part of their career strategy.

The Time Domination Experience Workshop delivered by Dr Hannah Roberts as part of the Women in Innovation community, is a 60-minute session, to discover the five-pillar system to time domination, increase your energy and effectiveness and take yourself to the next level in your life and career.

The Future Flight Challenge (FFC) is a £125m government investment delivered by UKRI to advance the next generation of aviation solutions. Phase III of the competition is set to launch in Q3 2021 and, in readiness, Innovate UK intends to set out the ambition for the next phase of the programme.
