Beyond excited that @uniofwarwick & @TataCompanies have been awarded the @RAEngNews 𝐁𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐲𝐲𝐚 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 for the long-standing, sustained impact through collaboration at an unprecedented scale in the UK.

The Warwick–Tata partnership is rooted in a deep friendship between two legends: Lord Kumar Bhattacharyya and Mr Ratan N Tata. And this recognition is a homage to both icons and their philosophy on academia-industry collaboration, supported by innumerable colleagues at @wmgwarwick, @uniofwarwick, & our partners at @TataMotors, @TataSteelLtd, @JLR_News, and wider @TataCompanies. Huge thank you to everyone who has helped create this unique and long-lasting relationship between two great institutions.

As our Vice Chancellor, Prof Stuart Croft says: “𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞”.

It has been a privilege to play a very small part in this journey, and an even bigger privilege to share the moment on the awards night on Diwali night, in the presence of Lady Bhattacharyya. 🙏

And this recognition comes with a responsibility to continue to take Lord Bhattacharyya's legacy to even greater heights. A journey that every one of us is honoured to be part of…

🚨✨BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Ensuring Safe eVTOLs
Today, the @UK_CAA & @wmgwarwick, jointly published the 𝐂𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐀𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐂𝐀𝐏) 𝟑𝟏𝟒𝟏.

Press release 🔗 https://t.co/zSgi3ExGH9
CAP 3141 🔗 https://t.co/J0kQRoD0fI

The 18-month study, funded by the @transportgovuk, forms part of the regulator’s Future of Flight programme. This work, applying systems thinking, has assessed the safety of future eVTOL aircraft operations in UK airspace and identified 50+ high-priority areas to develop regulations.

Now it is up to the CAA and the wider eVTOL industry to ensure we implement the safety recommendations...

I have always said, systems thinking is a team effort & requires champions to drive the change. This is a collective effort of the entire eVTOL industry in the UK (industry, regulator & academia).

If you have comments or feedback on the analysis and/or the recommendations, please do reach out...
