Time: 4pm - 5pm
Location: Online webinar

Advanced air mobility (AAM) is reshaping the future of passenger and cargo transport, prioritising lightweight and sustainable materials to drive advancements in electric flight and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology.

In this webinar, Dr. Tim Swait, AMRC technical fellow and Dr. Mandy Clement, James Cropper, technology manager, will present a recent collaboration between the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) and James Cropper. This pioneering project focused on developing reinforced UAV wing skins that offer strength, lightweight properties and recyclability in equal measure. In the project, the emphasis was on the use of advanced manufacturing techniques, such as tailored fiber placement (TFP), to precisely reinforce critical areas of the UAV wing skin without adding unnecessary weight.

The webinar will focus on the project’s main objectives, discussing the challenges and material validation that resulted in the delivery of highly efficient, lightweight UAV structures with sustainable materials integral to the design and successful manufacture.
