摘要：With projections indicating an increase in mobility over the next few decades and annual flight departures expected to rise to over 16 billion by 2050 there is a demand for the aviation industry and associated stakeholders to consider new forms of aircraft and technology. This presentation will describe a collaboration with a focus on innovation methods and engineering tools between a large team of Innovation Design Engineering students from Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art and Airbus to explore and develop concepts for future aircraft.
