At GKN Aerospace we're proud to be a part of Supernal’s journey in bringing innovative S-A2 #eVTOL solutions to market.
A case study in future-proofing. Technology improves exponentially. And the S-A2 concept is designed to accommodate that trend. We’re anticipating what operators will need and we’ve engineered a flexible, modular aircraft that adapts to next-generation tech. #Supernal #AAM #RiseAbove

#ThrowbackThursday to three months ago, when a GKN Aerospace GKN Fokker led collaboration with nine partners across five countries culminated in the successful completion of the three-year EU-funded Adeneas Coordination project. The ADENEAS project focused on overcoming two major challenges in aviation: reducing the weight and complexity of onboard wiring and power systems, and efficiently managing the excess heat generated by more electric aircraft. Here’s a quick recap of what the team accomplished: -Innovative Wireless and Powerline Communication Technologies: These advancements significantly reduce the weight of aircraft power and data networks while maintaining the same level of reliability and safety as traditional wired systems. -Lightweight, Two-Phase Cooling Solution: This cutting-edge system uses evaporating cooling fluids to manage heat, leading to a substantial weight reduction. Thanks to these innovations, we have the potential to reduce the weight of a standard 120-seat aircraft by up to 456 kg, which could result in a decrease of approximately 334 kg in CO2 emissions per 4000 km flight. Adeneas Coordination project partners: GKN Aerospace (project coordinator – Netherlands); Collins Aerospace/Raytheon Technologies (Ireland); NLR - Netherlands Aerospace Centre; Evektor Group (Czech Republic); plc-tec AG (Switzerland); Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands); Synano (Netherlands); ADSE Consulting and Engineering (Netherlands); Electronic Controls and Motor Systems/Collins Aerospace (United Kingdom). More details about the technologies and the great work accomplished by the ADENEAS team can be found in this video!
𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 To reach net-zero carbon emissions, the aviation industry is transitioning towards 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭. Two of the biggest challenges are the 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 and the 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭 produced by the more electric aircraft as a result of its power electronics. The EU-funded ADENEAS project , which concluded in April 2024, conducted research into these challenges. The research resulted in: ✅ Introduction of 𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 that significantly reduce the weight of the power and data networks in aircraft, while guaranteeing the same level of reliability and safety as the wired communication system. ✅Improved 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 for next-generation distribution networks. ✅ Design of a lightweight, two-phase 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 that takes advantage of evaporating cooling fluids. 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 It is calculated that the impact of the technologies as developed within ADENEAS will contribute to a 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝟒𝟓𝟔 𝐤𝐠 for a standard 120-seat aircraft, resulting in a 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝟑𝟑𝟒 𝐤𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐎𝟐 𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 per flight over 4000 km.

"The vision of net-zero air travel is within our sights." says Professor Chris Gerada. "Thanks to our new propulsion research infrastructure on campus, industry can co-locate, research, prototype, test, automate and manufacture the new solutions they need to future-proof their business. "As a result, we can accelerate the economic prosperity of the East Midlands, the home of green industries and advanced manufacturing." Find out more about the new H2FlyGHT initiative, one of the first to use University of Nottingham’s hydrogen propulsion systems facility for net-zero air travel research. The £5.3m programme to develop a cryogenic hydrogen-electric system as part of a wider project led by GKN Aerospace. University of Nottingham Faculty of Engineering, UoN Zero Carbon Cluster
⭐ Excited to see BBC News coverage of our new partnership with GKN Aerospace. ✈ The BBC quotes Professor Chris Gerada: "The vision of net-zero air travel is within our sights... To get there, we must push the limits of what is technically possible." 🤝 The £44m H2FlyGHT project sees GKN Aerospace lead with partners Parker Meggitt, University of Nottingham and The University of Manchester, supported by the UK Government through the Aerospace Technology Institute programme. It was announced at Farnborough Airshow with Department for Business and Trade. 👩🔧 As part of the project we kicked-off a £5.3 million programme of research to support the development, manufacture and test of a revolutionary cryogenic hydrogen-electric propulsion system. 🥇 It'll be one of the first to use our new hydrogen propulsion systems facility, made possible by the £70 million from Research England and industry co-investment - so that we can build open-access research facilities and programmes to achieve #transportdecarbonisation. 🏡 The facility builds on our manufacturing capabilities, including at our new Zero Carbon Innovation Centre funded by East Midlands Freeport.
