#197 On the Cutting Edge of Aviation

In 1992 rolls Royce helped to fund a new technology centre at the University of Birmingham which began a long relationship between the manufacturer and the university. Over the last 30 years research into material sciences for aviation have led to important safety and efficiency gains in plane performance. In 2022 the University of Birmingham and Rolls Royce were given the Bhattacharyya Award which recognises excellent achievement in work between industry and academia. The future of aviation, whether sustainable fuels or electrification is having a big impact on the materials research taking place and the close relationship between Rolls Royce and the University of Birmingham is on the forefront of the research.Guests Neil Glover, Head of Materials Research at Rolls Royce Paul Bowen, Research Director at the University of Birmingham Technology Research Centre.
