Gary Cutts, Future Flight challenge Director said: Through funding for the latest in green technology, such as hydrogen aircraft networks and medicine delivery drones, we are once again placing the aerospace sector directly at the centre of our plans to deliver jobs and grow the economy. Today’s package of support will add to this and help the sector take further steps to seize on the enormous opportunities for growth that exist as the world transitions to cleaner forms of flight. The return of the Farnborough International Airshow after a four-year absence is a clear example of the aerospace and aviation sector’s recovery. Project High-intensity Autonomous Drone Operations (HADO) meanwhile will be evaluating a live 24-hour commercial autonomous beyond visual line of sight drone service in the high intensity airspace of Heathrow Airport.īy involving local authorities, public sector and regulatory bodies, the challenge is not shying away from the complexities involved in creating a new aviation system for the UK. The challenge is also funding a range of projects investigating air space management and safety.įor example, project SafeZone three is making drone flights safer by creating a data service that supplies real-time information about air hazards in urban environments. speeding up the surveying and safety of critical infrastructure for example powerlines and railway tracks.īut it’s not only the development of new air vehicles the challenge is supporting.allowing cancer patients to receive treatment in their local community rather than travelling long distances for chemotherapy. This leads to quicker clinical decisions and treatment reducing the time it takes for a sample to get to a laboratory.The project aims to deliver solutions to real-life problems in care delivery by: supporting the NHS in Scotland with the CAELUS 2 project.Open Skies Cornwall, planning and building sky highways to connect NHS, Royal Mail, maritime and local authority assets to the people of Cornwall.using planes powered hydrogen or electricity to open up greener regional connectivity at locations across the UK.Working with the Civil Aviation Authority to ensure these technologies are rolled out appropriately, these projects show the potential societal benefits of these new technologies. They will share £73 million in funding to develop and show integrated aviation systems and new vehicle technologies. The Future Flight challenge at UK Research and Innovation and delivered by Innovate UK, has today (18 July 2022) announced the 17 winning projects. From greener planes to airspace management and drone carried medical supplies 17 projects deliver an aviation revolution with regulation and testing at the core.Īccelerating the progress of new technologies, social insight, and advanced aviation solutions to deliver the third revolution in aviation.
