Guilty free flying
THE UK government and industry are investing £113 million in hydrogen and allelectric flight technologies to unlock guiltfree flight and support green jobs across the UK.
The investment includes a project by Bristolbased electric aircraft manufacturer Vertical Aerospace to develop highend, lightweight batteries, as well as projects led by RollsRoyce to develop the building blocks of a liquid hydrogen combusting jet engine.
From Belfast to Derby, these successful projects will help secure thousands of jobs across the supply chain and hundreds of millions in private investment across the UK, growing the country’s economy and putting us at the forefront of reducing global aviation emissions. The ATI Programme continues to deliver practical successes, the most recent being the maiden flight of ZeroAvia’s hydrogen fuel cellpowered 19seater aircraft in January.

THE Opus Opera Placebo at Fred Friedrich Museum was truly an allround experience for the senses and a gathering of ‘who’s who’ in our community. This event has been and gone but you can still enjoy the interview with Nelly Friedrich in last week’s show as the passion behind it, from both Nelly and her husband, is as enjoyable as the end performance.
Still to come on March 4
