    Munich Branch: What does a test pilot actually do?

    12:30TUM Campus Garching, MW 1801, Boltzmannstrasse 15, 85748 Garching bei Muenchen.

    Reflecting on a career as a military test pilot at the UK MoD test centre Boscombe Down, Laurie Hilditch will examine what makes a test pilot and illustrates the diverse flying and ground activities experienced during his career. This covers testing a foreign fighter at short notice to contributing to the design and development of the Eurofighter Typhoon, clearing new weapons onto the Tornado and even simulating chemical attacks during training exercises for the Army and Navy.

    Hamburg Branch: Insights into future propulsion technologies.

    18:00 - 20:00 CESTHAW Hamburg

    The aviation sector has set ambitious targets to achieve net zero flight by 2050, there are several legislative, operational and technological pathways that will contribute towards this. Some of the greatest challenges are faced in developing solutions that will directly reduce the emissions of the aircraft.

    This presentation will provide some insights into what technologies are being explored for future propulsion systems based on new and alternative fuels such as battery, hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuels. It will explain how the incumbent primes are adopting different approaches to decarbonisation, while emerging companies are seeking to carve out niches with their disruptive technologies and business models.

    No registration required - lecture in-person only.

    For further details, please visit the main RAeS site page: Hamburg Branch: Insights into future propulsion technologies.
