Participants in the Aeronautical field are currently striving to achieve some extremely challenging goals. In particular, climate change concerns are driving a race for technical innovations to accelerate and facilitate the adoption of less polluting and more efficient engines, and cleaner fuels.
We are seeing exciting developments in the field. Significant advances in fuel economy and reductions in emissions of gas turbine engines are being achieved in the aero sector, and our engineering team is working at the core of those developments. Looking further ahead, we expect to see many more new technologies and solutions emerge and be developed in order to reduce emissions, such as increasingly electrified power systems. However, implementation of such technologies is often considerably less straightforward to achieve in the aero sector than in the automotive sector.
Of course, developments in this sector are not limited to the aircraft. We can expect developments in areas as wide ranging as: health monitoring; maintenance, repair and overhaul techniques; and autonomous operation.
Our Aeronautical team offers a unique combination of sector-focussed expertise, and comprises a blend of Physicists, Chemists, and Engineers, including specialist Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineers. Our team is able to leverage many years of patent practice in a wide range of technologies including: gas turbines, turbochargers, heave compensation and dynamic positioning, aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, control systems, and composite materials (particularly sustainable composites).
This powerful fusion of expertise enables us to work seamlessly with clients to build a dynamic IP portfolio that underpins their strategic goals and aspirations.
