COP26 and aviation 🛩, the Dubai Air Show 🇦🇪, the world's fastest 🏎 electric aircraft and more

News:

We take a look at COP26’s output and what it means for the aviation/ aerospace industry on the programme blog.

See what AX Managing Partner Nicola Bates thought her and the team's trip to The Dubai Airshow! Program Director Jacqueline Davidson also added a few thoughts here.

Rolls-Royce's Spirit of Innovation electric aircraft has achieved speeds in excess of 345mph during test runs

Will rapid and ambitious investment in innovative and disruptive research across a broad range of technology streams will be needed in order for Europe to lead the global transformation towards climate-neutral aviation?

As COP 26 wraps up in the United Kingdom, aviation stakeholders have been left mulling over plans to meet sustainability targets in the decades ahead.

Events:

Connecting, innovating and automating to transform smart automotive, next-gen mobility and intelligent transportation strategy and solutions.
