SUMMARY:Virtual Workshop - Signposting Supply Chain Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:WE-Zero Virtual Workshop – Signposting supply chain opportunities\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are please to announce our first WE-Zero cluster event. \nIntroduction \nThe recent COP26 conference has highlighted to the world the need to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. \nThe South West Aerospace and Advanced Engineering sector which is represented by WEAF is committed to helping to support regional development of infrastructure and technologies which can deliver ZERO emissions across Aerospace and a range of associated sectors. \nBased on the growing interest in the potential for a hydrogen economy. WEAF held a virtual H2 SW summit in 2021. \nWith the launch of the West of England Zero emissions cluster\, “WE-ZERO” WEAF is working to bring together stakeholders involved with the development of the Net Zero emission eco system under regional collaborative cluster. \nRecently Airbus announced it was speeding up its investigations into the possible use of Hydrogen\, as a clean fuel which could slash aviation emissions\, including a complete transition from conventional jet fuel around 2050. Bristol Airport is quickly developing its plans for sustainable aviation \nWEAF follows up H2SW with a virtual 2 day webinar. \nThe event will hear from expert speakers\, providing an insight to the developments of Hydrogen and Electrification and the opportunities that lie within the supply chain. \n\n\n  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/we-zero-virtual-workshop-signposting-supply-chain-opportunities-tickets-203084169217Day 1: Hydrogen \n09:45 – 10:15 Introduction from Colin Turner\, WEAF CEO and keynote speaker (tbc) \n10:15 – 11:00 Speaker Session 1 \n11:00 – 11:45 Speaker Session 2 \n11:45 – 12:30 Speaker Session 3 \n12:30 – 13:00 Speaker Session 4 \n  \nDay 2: Electrical \n09:45 – 10:15 Introduction from Colin Turner\, WEAF CEO and keynote speaker (tbc) \n10:15 – 11:00 Speaker Session 1 \n11:00 – 11:45 Speaker Session 2 \n11:45 – 12:30 Speaker Session 3 \n12:30 – 13:00 Speaker Session 4 \n  \n\n\nKindly Supported by the Department for International Trade.

SUMMARY:FlyZero Workshop
DESCRIPTION:UK design\, test and validation ecosystems to enable hydrogen and electric powered flight. \nAs part of its ongoing consultation process\, the ATI Fly Zero team has partnered with WEAF to hold a collaborative workshop focused on the following :- \n  \nObjectives \n\nTo identify and prioritise regionally based ecosystems to address the technical systems\, whole aircraft and airport\, test (verification and validation) challenges in developing hydrogen and electric powered aircraft.\nTo identify proposals / options for providing building this infrastructure in the UK.\n\nThe event will be jointly hosted by the West of England Aerospace Forum and by the Aerospace Technology Institute. \n  \nAgenda \n13:00-13:30 Introductions – Colin Turner\, WEAF CEO & Mark Pacey\, Chief Technologist FlyZero \n13:30-14:15 Stakeholder presentations \n14:15-15:30 Round table discussion \n15:30-16:30 Open discussion – questions from the audience \n  \nBackground \nThe FlyZero project – led by the UK’s Aerospace Technology Institute – is working to develop roadmaps for technology bricks critical to realising zero carbon emission commercial flight. \nA key challenge in the coming years will be testing the new technological systems\, aircraft and airport infrastructure that are critical to realising zero-carbon emissions hydrogen and electric powered flight. \nThe event will involve an outline of the Fly Zero project and key stakeholder inputs followed by a roundtable discussion. The final session will involve an open floor discussion. \nThis event will convene representatives from across the UK to discuss what capabilities the UK should invest in. \nThe event will be jointly hosted by the West of England Aerospace Forum and by the Aerospace Technology Institute. \nWEAF is the leading Trade Association cover the South West Aerospace and Advanced Engineering Community. \nWeb page link to FlyZero events: https://www.ati.org.uk/events-media/events/ \nTwitter @UKAeroInstitute \nLinkedIn @Aerospace Technology Institute \n  \nAbout FlyZero \nLed by the Aerospace Technology Institute and backed by the UK government FlyZero is a one-of-a-kind research project aiming to realise zero-carbon emission commercial aviation by the end of the decade. \nThe intensive 12-month strategic research programme is bringing experts together from across the UK to conduct a detailed and holistic study of the design challenges\, manufacturing demands\, operational requirements and market opportunity of potential zero-carbon emission aircraft concepts. \nBy creating these aircraft concepts alongside industrial roadmaps\, the economic case and a sustainability assessment\, FlyZero is setting out to demonstrate how the intensive development and early adoption of advanced technologies will enable us to realise zero-carbon emission commercial aviation by 2030. \nFlyZero will shape the future of global aviation with the intention of gearing up the UK to stand at the forefront of sustainable flight in design\, manufacture\, technology and skills for years to come. \n
