Cranfield Aerospace Solutions Ltd

Cranfield Aerospace Solutions, a global leader in advanced simulation and aerospace technologies, is pleased to announce a five-year supply agreement with F1® Arcade, the premium Formula 1® licensed entertainment company.

The UK Civil Aviation Authority has announced the expansion and extension of the Hydrogen Challenge by launching a second round.

Hydrogen aircraft are the future of aviation. They can greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in comparison to traditional fuels. As the aviation industry moves toward zero emission flights, hydrogen aircraft offer a practical way to reach this goal and help fight climate change.

Cranfield University will spearhead the research and development of the first major hydrogen technology hub to demonstrate the potential of hydrogen as a net zero aviation fuel.

Over the past few years, Cranfield Aerospace Solutions (CAeS) has been quietly pushing engineering boundaries in a quest to achieve zero-emissions flight and has now achieved a notable milestone with the successful integration design of its hydrogen fuel cell technology into the nacelle of an aircraft. This is an achievement that not only marks important engineering and technological progress but is also a significant step towards certification and commercialisation of the company’s zero-emissions technology.

The UK Civil Aviation Authority has selected three companies to increase industry and regulatory readiness for the introduction of hydrogen fuel and new technologies.

An Orkney-based sustainable aviation project bolsters its partnership activity with the addition of Cranfield Aerospace (CAeS) which hopes to get certification in 2026 for its hydrogen drivetrain, ready for entry into passenger-carrying service in 2027.

Stratus 9 (S9), an innovator in private aviation and fractional ownership, today announced plans to acquire 10 (with options for up to 15) of Cranfield Aerospace Solutions’ (CAeS) hydrogen propulsion conversion kits for the B-N Islander aircraft. The deal, valued at over $20M, paves the way for the first zero-emissions fractional ownership programme in the United States.

Loganair, the UK’s largest regional airline, and Cranfield Aerospace Solutions, pioneers in zero-emissions flight, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which signifies an enhanced level of collaboration, with the view to have the first operational hydrogen-electric Britten-Norman Islander flying in Kirkwall by 2027.

Reaction Engines, a global leader in cutting-edge thermal management solutions, and Cranfield Aerospace Solutions (CAeS), renowned pioneers in hydrogen fuel cell propulsion systems for aviation, today announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand their existing collaboration to explore additional aerospace applications for their zero-emission propulsion technology.
