Description

As VP Research and Development for Agusta-Westland, Dr Wang conceived Project Zero, the world’s first all-electric tiltrotor technology demonstrator aircraft. With one goal of the project to inspire the next generation, a team of young engineers designed, built and tested the concept aircraft in just 6 months. It features a number of innovative technologies, and has been selected for several prestigious international awards, including the 2014 RAeS Team Gold Award.

In this lecture Dr Wang will share his passion for vertical flight, describing the Project Zero development programme, and where these technologies may lead in the future.
