These extended Aerospace UP hours focus on innovation and technology related subjects: R&D, funding, greener aviation, additive manufacturing, aircraft electrification, specialist composites, Industry 4.0, what help companies can get from the University of Nottingham and other research and technology bodies . . .
Learn about innovation in the defence industry in this virtual and interactive Aerospace UP Hour. We’ll be joined by AERALIS, Arrowsmith Engineering, Paragon Engineering & Logistics and A&M EDM who have made it happen. You will also find out about expert support packages that could support your company.
AERALIS, is a UK-based aircraft developer creating a new class of transformative high performance training and operational aircraft. The new aircraft will be based on a modular system, enabling the company to deliver a range of configurations for different missions by using common fuselage and avionics while switching engines, wings and mission systems. This commonality will allow for more flexible, cost-effective solutions for Airforce fleets around the world. The company is preparing to develop a pre-production aircraft with first flight targeted within 3 years.
Arrowsmith specialises in Turning, Milling, Thread Rolling and Grinding plus a range of NDT, CMM, Thread and Hydraulic pressure testing services. Paragon Engineering & Logistics Limited are specialists in the manufacture of high performance aerospace components. During the COVID-19 pandemic, both took advantage of opportunity to grown their presence in the defence market with the support of Aerospace UP.
