Full-scale wing extensions will be fitted to an A321neo over the next three years to assess how longer wingspans affect handling and efficiency.
Technology developed through H2GEAR is supporting a commercial fuel cell platform for future eVTOL and regional aircraft.
A long-term agreement between the two companies supports certification plans and advances development toward commercial service in 2028.
The company and its industry partners aim to advance UK aerospace manufacturing with £14.1m of Aerospace Technology Institute support.
The three year initiative has brought together partners from industry and academia to deliver full-scale wingtip demonstrators for structural testing.
The high temperature fuel cells that ZeroAvia will manufacture in the planned Glasgow facility are said to be key to unlocking fuel cell propulsion for larger aircraft.
And then there were three. ATI Aerospace Technology Institute has expanded its FlyZero concept to encompass a range of regional, narrowbody and midsize designs - all to be powered by hydrogen.
Liquid hydrogen is a lightweight fuel, which has three times the energy of kerosene and sixty times the energy of batteries per kilogramme and emits no CO2 when burned. The ATI can see how to harness that.
The latest braider equipment at Collins Aerospace’s Banbury, UK, facility can manufacture composite components such as new complex fuel pipes - and will be used by a new collaboration of UK companies.
GKN Aerospace's Global Technology Centre will focus on sustainable aviation research and development. At full capacity the collaboration centre will host 300 engineers.
Wing of Tomorrow has reached a key milestone with the assembly of its first full-size wing prototype, while Airbus has also announced an extra-performing wing demonstrator project based on a Citation VII airframe.
Rolls-Royce has already tested the AE2100 engine element, specialist controls and thermal management system at Testbed 108. Now the PGS1 hybrid-electric system will come under scrutiny there.
Collins is designing and testing the motor at its Electronic Controls and Motor Systems Center of Excellence in Solihull, where it invested $18 million to expand and add power electronics and motor development capabilities.
Through a three-year commitment, the ASCEND partnership, backed by the UK government, will bring together expertise, capabilities and resources from across the wider UK aerospace and automotive supply chain.
Rolls-Royce expects its Spirit of Innovation to break world electric flight speed records, flying at over 300mph. Its power system is likely to land the company a central role in future UAM programs.
Ten more startup businesses will now benefit from a possible £100,000 equity investment from Boeing HorizonX Global Ventures and access to ATI, Boeing, GKN Aerospace and Rolls-Royce experts.
Twelve months of research lie ahead for the Aerospace Technology Institute's team investigating the design challenges, manufacturing demands and market potential of zero-emission aircraft concepts.
