The University of Nottingham is leading three research and development projects under a UK clean energy programme funded by UK Research and Innovation, with a total budget of £20 million.
The projects target hybrid‑electric propulsion for next‑generation short‑ and medium‑haul aircraft, including a challenge that tests concepts with major manufacturers, a second effort that supports start‑ups and young companies to commercialise research, and a third that helps regional suppliers adopt digital, automated, low‑emission manufacturing with £3.2 million from a regional investment programme.
