Airbus and Williams will collaborate to develop high altitude solar uav system

Airbus and Williams, senior engineering company, announced that the two companies have already established cooperative partnership, and explore the innovation culture is likely to Williams, lightweight composite materials and battery expertise with airbus Zephyr high altitude pseudolite ( 也许不久) Plan of combining the technical potential areas of cooperation.

Zephyr is a solar unmanned aircraft system ( UAS) , has a unique communication and monitoring ability, can fly more than 65000 feet higher than that of commercial air traffic, for months at a time. The first batch of production instance is ember, built for the British ministry of defence.

Williams advanced battery technology engineering company since its inception has always been the FIA Formula E championship the only battery supplier, through experiment and test, the electrification of professional knowledge has become the core of the business. With 40 years of experience in the car top, lightweight material and structure is critical, Williams is developing the technology and find the weight of innovative solutions.

airbus Jana, head of the uav system Rosenmann said: & other; In airbus, we very respect Williams advanced project of the company's technical expertise and achievement, and they are quick to new technology and product to the market of its remarkable record. Our engineering team is very pleased to have this opportunity to learn the formula one world, and is keen to share when we are flying high in developing solar energy solution learned knowledge. “ Airbus and Williams companies are seeking to recruit talented engineers, we hope that the joint activities that we needed for the transportation for the future technology provides a great opportunity. ”

Craig Williams advanced engineering company's managing director Wilson said: & other; Airbus is synonymous with the industry innovation and technology. Therefore, we are glad to participate in the project with them, and want to share our in electrification, battery system of lightweight materials and advanced aspects of some professional knowledge, and learn about their rich experience in the field of aviation. We are looking forward to joint efforts on this project, hope you can continue to learn from each other in the future.
