Year 10 scholars in global aviation challenge

Year 10 scholars in global aviation challenge

Nova Hreod Academy / Categories: News

We are excited to be involved in a collaborative research project with the Institute for Research in Schools (IRIS) with Year 10 scholars who are interested in STEM, aviation and engineering. 
 
The project, called "Future Flight" was launced on 5th October, when Dr Spreadbury went to Cotswold Airport in Kemble to visit a company called ZeroAvia, a leading company developing new hydrogen-electric, zero-emission engines for commercial aircraft. 
 
The launch included demonstrations and an introduction to clean flight technologies, including a tour of ZeroAvia’s fuel cell ad electric motor labs and the testbed Dornier 228 aircraft
 
As part of 'Future Flight', scholars will work on projects alongside their normal lessons to explore the concepts and technologies that propel aviation, from aerodynamics to hydrogen-electric propulsion. Scholars will use new software to investigate the most efficient and economical ways to fly a commercial plane route using new sustainable fuels and technologies, and it’s hoped they may come up with fresh innovative ideas.
 
For more information about this project, please contact Dr Spreadbury via Epraise or by email s.spreadbury@novahreodacademy.org.uk.
