Flying on an all-electric plane. It sounds like a dream – but aviation is truly the start of a new era – and we’re leading the charge. Later this year, our ‘Spirit of Innovation’ all-electric racer will soar to speeds beyond 300mph+. We will be setting records and developing technologies to build a cleaner future for aviation.  Sustainability is the destination and we want you to join us on the journey.  

In this session you will hear about the skills you need to make this highly specialised challenge a reality and build the world’s fastest all-electric ‘zero-emissions’ aircraft.
