10th June 2024 – Electric Flight

Are fans the solution to fuel-free flight?

With flight responsible for 2% of global emissions and rising, solutions that can help air travel meet net zero are needed.  Doctor Robert Bolam from Wrexham University will talk about his research into fast fans and whether they can enable fuel-free flight.

Robert will take us from the very first electrical aircraft flight up to the present day and inception of the FAST Fan. This wonderful feat of engineering is sure to make a massive difference to the world of aeronautical engineering.
