As the #aerospace industry gathered recently at Farnborough Airshow, it was a great opportunity to highlight some of the new technologies and capabilities emerging from the Midlands as significant building blocks for future industry requirements. We’re delivering a wide range of #innovation programmes at the moment supporting the sustainability of the supply chain, helping smaller companies to get into the aerospace and space sectors, helping to open up the advanced air mobility industry, supporting companies with accessing funding, and more. We’re also collaborating with other regional and national bodies to influence wider industrial and aerospace strategies. Read about these important projects, the organisations involved, and how the work will make a difference to companies of all sizes within the Midlands aerospace cluster, one of the largest in the world: https://lnkd.in/gXfa6CyS A&M Pure Precision, Aerospace Technology Institute, Accura Engineering, ADS Group Ltd, Alloy Wire International, ASG Group, Burcas Limited, Business Growth West Midlands, C.

As a student engineer one thing I learnt during my internship is daily maintenance check

In Central Alabama, an electric company employed a unique method for trimming tree limbs near power lines to prevent damage. They used a helicopter equipped with a rotating saw blade, known as an aerial saw, which was demonstrated in a video by the Central Alabama Electric Cooperative.

I am going to need more information. What are the safety features in place in the event it hits a power line? Hard to tell from the video put it appears to be close to the lines. What’s the cost of this vs old school tree cutters. And what’s the risk assessment of the old way vs the new way.

The wave energy used by OCIUS Technology Limited #Bluebottle is facilitated by a fibre-reinforced laminated composite rudder, or ‘flipper’, at the front of the vessel, which provides passive thrust. This #ACMCRC project, in partnership with UNSW, aims to design and manufacture the next generation composite flipper for these vessels, for optimal propulsion and thus operation even in the toughest weather conditions and no matter what the state of the sea.

Anyone in the aerospace industry will understand that the assembly of large structures requiring high precision can be a major challenge. Often, assembly involves multiple drilling and fastening operations across a range of materials, from metal to carbon fibre. We are working with customers who are utilising our wide solutions range to build efficient processes giving them maximum productivity. In this video, you’ll be introduced to just some of our technology and how it can progress your current methods of assembly. Our colleague Jerome will show you a brief overview of the XPB and the M-EDU, which are both electric solutions. https://bit.ly/3MUO54V
