Aircraft electrification

Aviation ecosystem and the production and distribution of electrical power Our work in this area focuses on infrastructure and redesigning our airport network to allow for a range of electric vehicle re-charging while managing the electricity grid. Our expertise in transport systems and the energy and power sector allows an approach to CKTETCHV GNGEVTKƓECVKQP VJCV EQPUKFGTU VJG YKFGT CXKCVKQP GEQU[UVGO and net environmental gain. Our living laboratory is a testbed for transformative technologies and new approaches to deliver enhanced social, economic and environmental outcomes in urban, transport and infrastructure systems.
