Yesterday at the Farnborough International air show, our Business Development Director Peter Symons met with the Minister for Economy (Wales) Vaughan Gething MS along with DragonFLY consortium members Rukshan Navaratne from the University of Cardiff, Control Development UK and John Whalley from Aerospace Wales.
Osprey and consortium partners discussed the DragonFLY project along with wider sustainable aviation and decarbonisation goals in Wales, including the novel technology being developed as part of DragonFLY project and wider hydrogen application as part of Bro Tathan’s future decarbonisation plans.
Osprey are currently providing certification, airworthiness and safety support to Project DragonFly which aims to provide a Hybrid Hydrogen-Electrical regional aircraft, leading the Welsh sustainable aircraft agenda and contributing to delivering the UK governments Carbon Net Zero targets by 2050.
Peter Symons stated “Project DragonFLY is a key project in Osprey’s sustainable aviation portfolio and continues our excellent working relationship with the Welsh government and the University of Cardiff. Sustainable aviation and the drive to Net Carbon Zero by 2050 is a key driver in the future of aerospace and the benefits and challenges that come with it, not least in how to certify novel technologies. We look forward to continuing the journey to Carbon Net Zero with our client and partners.”
