New Entry
The 拢35m flagship Aerospace Integration Research Centre (AIRC) will boost aerospace research capabilities in the UK whilst cementing the University鈥檚 reputation as the leading aerospace research institution in Europe.
Co-funded by Airbus, Rolls Royce and Cranfield University, following a grant from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), the new facility is equipped with the latest cutting-edge technology where researchers will investigate ways of integrating new technologies to reduce the time from innovation to application.
Facilities include a visualisation area, an air traffic management simulation and large aircraft simulator used to test new ideas and impact on aircraft alongside a 1,500m虏 open lab housing a full size aircraft wing for testing intelligent robots in the structural assembly of aircraft parts.
