UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCED AS A CONSORTIUM PARTNER FOR THE NEXT GENERATION ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT
Posted date: 01 Mar 2021
The University of Salford has been announced as a partner part of a seven-strong consortium who are developing the next generation of all electric propulsion modules that enhances aircraft performance and reduces operating costs. The project brings together industry and academia with The University of Salford Acoustics Research Centre providing their expertise on noise modelling and assessment.
The consortium’s project - Integrated Flight Control, Energy Storage and Propulsion Technologies for Electric Aircraft (InCEPTion) - is co-funded by the UK’s innovation agency, Innovate UK, and will begin in January 2021. The 24-month project aims to deliver a quiet, high power-dense, and efficient propulsion module with zero tailpipe emissions, which will contribute to the Government’s commitment to achieving net-zero transportation by 2050.
