1 year after setting 2030 Sustainable Aviation Goals, we unveiled new AIA modelling in Parliament to turn them into action. The next 5 years will decide if the UK leads the world in clean aerospace โ #JetZero ๐ report.aiazero.org/@Cambridge_Uni@UKParliament
Yesterday we heard from Professor Rob Miller, @Rob__Miller at @whittlelab, who spoke about the exciting opportunities opening up for a 'Tesla moment' in aviation and it's potential for building new industries in the UK.
Today Aviation Impact Accelerator academics were the on board the first electric flight out of Cambridge City airport โ๏ธ Dr Deepanshu Singh was on board the two person aircraft, describing how it felt to be experiencing the technology beyond the lab and into practice ๐
