The funding will support research to develop new engine cooling systems and cutting-edge technology to stop the formation of ice crystals on engines when cruising at high altitudes.<\/p>\n<p>Aerospace Minister Richard Harrington confirmed the \u00a310.7 million government funding towards the Rolls-Royce-led <abbr title=\"research and development\">R&amp;D<\/abbr> projects on a visit to Rolls-Royce\u2019s engineering and manufacturing facilities in Derby. In June 2017, Rolls-Royce committed to invest \u00a3150 million in its UK facilities to support plans of doubling engine production.<\/p>\n<p>Aerospace Minister Richard Harrington said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>As the home of the first jet engine, the UK has an aerospace heritage that\u2019s revered around the world. Through our modern Industrial Strategy, we will continue this legacy and have already committed to work with industry to invest \u00a33.9 billion to further transform the sector.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">These 2 projects will see the best talent from the industry come together to help the UK reach even greater heights in aerospace excellence.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The latest projects, worth over \u00a321 million in total, are supported by <abbr title=\"Aerospace Technology Institute\">ATI<\/abbr> and Rolls-Royce with academic industry partners. This will be delivered through Innovate UK &#8211; the UK\u2019s innovation agency.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Technology Officer for Rolls-Royce Paul Stein said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"last-child\">We welcome the support announced by the UK government today. Rolls-Royce is focused on pioneering new technologies and developing the next generation of highly skilled engineers by working with academia and industry. These research projects will play an important role in developing the innovative technologies needed to enhance performance, improve efficiency and reduce emissions of future aircraft.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"projects\">Projects<\/h2>\n<p>The projects set to receive funding are:<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"coast-critical-oil-and-air-system-technologies\">\n<abbr title=\"Critical Oil and Air System Technologies\">COAST<\/abbr> (Critical Oil and Air System Technologies)<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a33.7 million, focuses on the development of engine systems to support cabin cooling, and advanced sealing solutions for oil systems and bearing chambers. The technologies developed in <abbr title=\"Critical Oil and Air System Technologies\">COAST<\/abbr> will support reductions in fuel burn and improve the reliability of oil systems and the integration of engine systems with the airframe. This project is led by Rolls-Royce plc. in collaboration with Bladon Jet Ltd an <abbr title=\"small and medium-sized enterprise\">SME<\/abbr> based in Coventry and the Universities of Nottingham, Oxford and Sheffield.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"de-icer-design-excellence--ice-crystal-engine-research\">\n<abbr title=\"Design Excellence \u2013 Ice Crystal Engine Research\">DE-ICER<\/abbr> (Design Excellence \u2013 Ice Crystal Engine Research)<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a37 million, focuses on tackling the formation of ice crystals that can damage an aircraft. The project aims to target current gaps in ice crystal formation research and develop anti-icing systems and technology to protect the engine. This project is led by Rolls-Royce plc. in collaboration with Satavia Ltd, an <abbr title=\"small and medium-sized enterprise\">SME<\/abbr> in Cambridge, GKN Aerospace and the University of Oxford.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, the government and industry committed to spend \u00a33.9 billion to further transform aerospace research until 2026 to help this sector build on our unique strengths in the UK through the Industrial Strategy.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/topical-events\/the-uks-industrial-strategy\">Industrial Strategy<\/a> sets out a long-term plan to boost the productivity and earning power of people throughout the UK. It sets out how we are building a Britain fit for the future \u2013 how we will help businesses create better, higher-paying jobs in every part of the UK with investment in skills, industries and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Support for research to develop new engine cooling systems and new technology to stop the formation of ice crystals on engines when cruising at high altitudes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92001"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=92001"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92001\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=92001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=92001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mostafa.openonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=92001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
