dc.description.abstract |
This article describes an exciting research programme, FLAVIIR (flapless air vehicle
integrated industrial research), in Aeronautical Engineering that is developing and demonstrating
novel technologies and also forging a new approach to academic research, with emphasis on
engagement with, and relevance to, industry. Traditional academic research is usually focused
on fundamental properties of technologies, proof of principles, and solution concept generation.
This leaves industry to bridge the gap between this foundation work undertaken by the academic
research and the introduction of technologies into practical products suitable for use in the real
world. The FLAVIIR programme is taking academic research further than usual so that it relates
more closely to technology exploitation in industry and so makes a significant contribution to the
practical realization of novel technologies, so increasing the benefits delivered to industry from
investment in academic research. In order to achieve this, the FLAVIIR programme includes, in
addition to research into the fundamental technologies themselves, an emphasis on technology
integration into an air vehicle that is then used to demonstrate the technologies in a representative
manner. The FLAVIIR programme is enabled and funded by a strategic partnership formed
between BAESystems and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) in
Aeronautical Engineering.
