Our contribution to the project has been using our nanodrone to measure wind, which is a key enabler to allowing safer and more efficient drone flight to reduce fuel usage. SATE's aim is to create the UK's first low-carbon aviation test environment. The demonstration was part of a collaborative project led by Radnor Range and in partnership with Tomorrow.io, Atkins, ANSYS, and Nexus Nine.Īs we reach the conclusion of our 2 Future Flight projects at the end of April, we have been eagerly awaiting news of our Future Flight Phase 3 applications for SATE (Sustainable Aviation Test Environment) and SafeZone. The demo showcased how the UK can reduce the cost and time of test and evaluation by combining synthetic testing approaches in our machine learning enhanced digital twin system. We trialled this capability with long range shots of our autonomous nanodrone at Radnor Range, which validated the results of the synthetic environment. We completed our contract with Radnor Range this month, which culminated in a demo day at the Range. The end of the programme was marked by a virtual demo day, where attendees had the opportunity to meet with this year's cohort. Our CCO Chris was at his enthusiastic best, so worth watching him in action giving a 4 minute pitch as to what it is we do at Flare Bright.Ĭhris has also written a report on the recent Aerospace Xelerated trip to Spain with Boeing and rest of this year's cohort, which you can read about at the end. We were selected for the programme at the beginning of the year, and we have learnt a great deal since then. This month also marked the conclusion of the 12-week Aerospace Xelerated programme sponsored by Boeing. We are also concluding our 2 Future Flight Phase 2 projects and our team are heading to Kirkwall Airport in Orkney to complete flights tests for the final stage of SATE Phase 2. We are putting the finishing touches to the SafeZone final report too. At the time of writing we are waiting for the announcements of the UKRI Future Flight Phase 3 winners, and fingers crossed both projects will continue in a highly competitive competition for the final stage of funded work. We completed our contract with Radnor Range, which we mentioned briefly at the start of the year. The project culminated in a demonstration day at Radnor Range which showcased the project achievements and future capabilities.

March has undoubtedly been a 'conclusive' month for Flare Bright. Radnor Range Demo, Future Flight Phase 2, Aerospace Xelerated Demo Day and Spain Report
