By bringing together technologies in electrification, aviation systems and autonomy it seeks to create new modes of air travel and capability. The project will: ①increase mobility, improve connectivity, and reduce air traffic congestion ②advance electric and autonomous flight technologies to reach the net zero target ③increasing UK manufacturing and service opportunities to drive in investment View Details >
