This week we joined over 150 industry partners at the CiTTi Awards and were honoured to receive the Urban Air Mobility Award 🏆 A sense of place has always been important to the SATE project, so to be recognised for our work in #SustainableAviation and our collaboration with members of the community is a really positive outcome. Thank you to CiTTi Magazine and congratulations to all the other winners.

Lessons Learnt: Pioneering CAV mobility in the Highlands and Islands 🚌   Join us at The Hothouse in the Adam Smith Building, University of Glasgow, for an exciting in-person event where industry experts, local stakeholders, and innovators discuss their experiences exploring the potential for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) to extend mobility in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Learn from their experience addressing transport challenges in rural Scotland through a UKRI and CCAV-funded project focused on how a CAV service can improve access for underserved groups, reduce emissions, and enhance community engagement while applying the Responsible Innovation Framework to ensure social and financial feasibility.   This gathering will include presentations on global trends, local trials, and practical case studies. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities for CAV commercialisation. Finally, an interactive brainstorming session will encourage participants to contribute their perspectives, helping to shape a responsible and impactful roadmap for CAV deployment in the region.   Register now at: https://lnkd.in/e2wCvYGU

Reimagining regional mobility with Airlander 🌍 Airlander is set to revolutionise passenger transport by offering a sustainable way to travel that provides new connections. With the ability to transport 100 passengers on short-haul routes, Airlander will provide an ultra-low emissions alternative, reducing emissions by up to 90% over comparable aircraft in a wide range of roles.

🆕 We're Taking Flight! Scotland’s first regional sustainable aviation conference, “Taking Flight”, took place in Inverness earlier this month. Read the full news story below and please share with your network.

We’ve had a successful morning kicking off the ‘Taking Flight’ conference in Inverness. ✈️ The day started with a welcome from David Holden, FRAeS from HITRANS and Sustainable Aviation Test Environment (SATE) manager Jayne Golding. 👋 We also had a panel discussion with industry experts, highlighting the increased need for sustainable aviation and the important role that SATE is playing in decarbonisation. As an industry we must make aviation more sustainable and work together on the barriers we will face, for the future generations. 🤝 The morning then ended with talks from Iain Coutts from Arcadis and Neil MacRae from HITRANS. We look forward to an afternoon filled with further discussions and insightful workshops! #TakingFlight #SustainableAviation
