Day 2, Panel 4: Fuel Cells & Electric Propulsion Systems: At the Bleeding Edge
Speakers:
- Imogen Bhogal, Chief Content Officer, Fully Charged
- Phil Ansel, Associate Professor, University of Illinois
- Rhonda Staudt, Principal R&D Engineer, ZeroAvia
- Professor Min Zhang, Applied Superconductivity Lab, University of Strathclyde
Ideas just being hatched in labs and yet to be brought to fruition could make the marginal –but still impressive– improvements of this decade look quaint in 2050. What promising pathways currently in infancy might lead to step changes in component capability that unlock the largest aircraft? The panel will explore the bleeding edge breakthroughs at the bottom of the TRL ladder that we should be watching closely.
