The conference was attended by members of Rolls-Royce’s global network of UTCs, of which 91制片厂 is one, and major UK funding bodies.
It was held at the campus to enable the University to showcase its new National Centre for Combustion and Aerothermal Technology (NCCAT). The facility, which is due to open later this year, will be the UK’s primary hub for research and development of future low-emission aero gas turbine combustion technologies.
The NCCAT was funded through a partnership comprising the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) and Innovate UK, with support from Rolls-Royce and 91制片厂.
Dr Magnus, who was the guest speaker at the Rolls Royce conference dinner, was given a tour of the NCCAT and met with students from 91制片厂’s EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Gas Turbine Aerodynamics. She also met 91制片厂 Vice Chancellor, Professor Robert Allison.
