RI - Engineering the skies: The rise of electric flight

As the aviation industry enters the early stages of the energy transition, researchers are constantly developing renewable technologies to power travel in our skies. With alternative technologies such as battery energy storage, hydrogen, and synthetic aviation fuels all under development, the electric aircraft market is predicted to grow significantly over the next decade. But how? And how will these technologies change the way we travel in the air?

In the latest event in partnership with the Faraday Institution, we take a deep dive into the research, systems engineering, challenges, and potential solutions of deploying batteries in the skies. Join a panel of experts to learn how batteries fit into the technology mix for decarbonising aviation.

This event is in collaboration with the Faraday Institution. The Faraday Institution is powering one of the most exciting scientific and technological developments of the 21st century—Britain’s battery revolution. As the world competes to define the future of energy and automation, the Faraday Institution is accelerating commercially relevant research needed for future battery development to power the transport and energy revolution for the UK.
