On 20 July, an innovation summit at the University of Cambridge will mark the official opening of the New Whittle Laboratory — a UK research facility designed to dramatically accelerate the pace of aerospace, energy and defence technology development. The Frank Whittle Summit debuts at the new lab, named after the pioneering jet engine inventor. Guy, a Senior Editor for Aviation Week covering technology and propulsion, reported the event in Aerospace Daily & Defense Report, an Aviation Week Intelligence Network (AWIN) Market Briefing. The summit promises to bring together researchers and industry leaders as the laboratory begins its mission to speed up innovation in critical sectors.
