空中的士、飞行汽车，这些原本出现在科幻片中的场景，在不远的将来就会出现在我们所生活的城市之中。你做好迎接未来空中交通的准备了吗？

8月28至29日，由英国皇家航空学会主办、宁波诺丁汉大学和北京航空航天大学联合主办的2023未来空中交通国际论坛成功举办。

作为英国皇家航空学会的年度国际未来空中交通行业盛会，英国皇家航空学会总会会长David Edwards、中国航空学会理事长林左鸣、英国驻沪执行总领事Andrew McAllister、英国科研与创新署中国区主任Daniel Brooker、罗尔斯-罗伊斯中国区总裁Julian MacCormac、中国商飞科技委常委李东升等嘉宾出席了论坛的开幕式。除了包括空客、波音、罗尔斯罗伊斯、中国商飞等航空巨头企业外，来自德国、英国、巴西和日本的未来空中交通行业头部企业也参与其中。

为期两天的论坛不仅为中外航空航天领域专家学者、研究人员和企业之间搭建起国际合作和交流的平台，还通过聚焦“产业化”，集聚技术、企业、资本以及政策制定方的权威人士，大力推动未来空中交通产业发展。得益于宁波诺丁汉大学理工学院在航空电气化领域的卓越科研成果，宁诺电力电子、电机驱动研究团队在本次论坛上大放异彩。

电力电子、电机驱动研究团队近年来在科研创新和成果转化上取得了不少成就，主持参与了多项航空电驱动系统项目，如中国商飞CR929的大功率直流起动发电机驱动系统、中航工业的大飞机电静液作动器和航空“绿色滑行”计划等等，其中“绿色滑行”计划为科技部政府间国际科技创新合作重点专项。目前有多项科研成果已完成或临近产业化，合作企业包括西门子、中国商飞、康明斯电机、航空工业、之江实验室等，是航空电气化研究方向领域一颗冉冉升起的新星。

论坛上，电力电子、电机驱动研究团队核心成员、宁波诺丁汉大学科研与知识交流副校长Giampaolo Buticchi教授受邀做了题为《飞机电气化推进可持续和高效航空》的主题演讲，分享了团队在航空电气化领域所取得的研究成果。

在线下的圆桌讨论环节，宁波诺丁汉大学校友、诺云驱动首席执行官施博闻深度参与探讨中国供应商如何助力未来空中交通产业化发展。不仅如此，在本次论坛上，施博闻还向全球正式发布了公司首款载人级新能源飞机电驱动产品——Maya120电机及配套控制器。该产品具备超高功率密度及高水平的容错性和可靠性，在最大持续功率稳定在120kW、峰值功率达到200kW的基础上，质量仅为35kg。Maya120电机可适配各种新能源飞机，在未来航空动力领域有着巨大的发展潜力，也为全球绿色航空市场注入了新的活力。

施博闻本科毕业于宁波诺丁汉大学，随后留校直博，师从宁波诺丁汉大学首席研究员张何教授。博士毕业后，他没有选择继续学术研究，而是将精力投入到产品的产业化中。施博闻与几位创始人发挥技术优势，精耕细分市场领域，将前沿的无感高速矢量控制FOC技术应用到电驱动领域，并向超大、超小载重无人机电驱动系统这两个极限不断深入探索，在无人机这条赛道上走出了自己的一条道路。

正如开幕式上宁波诺丁汉大学副校长、理工学院院长吴韬教授所说，“宁波诺丁汉大学已与多方机构展开合作，共同深耕未来空中交通领域。利用自身的国际化资源及学科优势，我们将持续聚焦航空航天领域，通过高水平的教学和科研推动产业转化，与大家一起面向蓝天，创造更加美好的生活。”

未来，宁波诺丁汉大学也将整合国际顶尖科研团队和本地的产业化资源，为未来空中交通行业积聚能量，推动世界航空工业的可持续绿色发展。

UNNC powered the future development of advanced air mobility

On 28-29 August 2023, Advanced Air Mobility International Conference (AAMIC), organised by the Royal Aeronautical Society China Representative Office, co-organised by the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) and Beihang University (BHU), was successfully held in Ningbo.

This annual event provided an international cooperation and exchange platform for experts, scholars, researchers and industries in the field of aerospace at home and abroad. David Edwards, FRAeS, Chief Executive Royal Aeronautical Society, Zuoming Lin, Chairman of the Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Andrew McAllister, Consul General of the British Consulate-General Shanghai, Daniel Brooker, Director of UK Research and Innovation China, Julian MacCormac, CEO of Rolls-Royce China Holding Ltd., and Dongsheng Li, FRAeS, Chief Engineer of Composites, Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, Ltd. (COMAC) attended the opening ceremony of the conference. Besides, many aviation giants such as Airbus, Boeing, COMAC and top enterprises in the advanced air mobility areas also participated in the conference.

Professor Giampaolo Buticchi, FRAeS, UNNC Interim Vice Provost for Research and Knowledge Exchange, also a core member of the UNNC Power Electronics, Machines and Control (PEMC) Research Group was invited to deliver a keynote speech titled “Aircraft Electrification for Sustainable and Efficient Aviation”, sharing the research outputs in the field of aviation electrification.

In the panel, Dr Bowen Shi, CEO of NOEE, also an alumnus of UNNC, shared his experience demonstrate how Chinese suppliers enable the future development of advanced air mobility industrialization. After completing undergraduate study at UNNC, Bowen continued his doctoral research with the leading supervision from Professor He Zhang, FRAeS. Dr Bowen Shi and his team decided to utilise their technical advantages to optimise electronic drive systems for drone and discovered their own pathway in the application of FOC technology.

In this conference, Dr Shi officially launched its first manned new energy aircraft electric drive product, the Maya120 motor and supporting controller. The Maya120 motor and supporting controller offer ultra-high power density and a high level of fault tolerance and reliability, with a maximum continuous power stable of 120kW and a peak power of 200kW, and a mass of only 35kg. This has a huge development in the field of aviation power in the future, and also adds vitality into the global green aviation market.

NOEE is one of the spin-out companies that was incubated by the University of Nottingham Ningbo China. The PEMC research group is one of the largest and highly recognised research teams in the field of Electrical Engineering. In the recent years, it made many achievements and participated in a number of avionics electric drive system projects, such as a high-power rating DC Starter/Generator system for aeroplane engines with improved efficiency and reduced weight, and “green taxiing” high-efficiency drive system. A number of scientific research achievements have been completed or are close to industrialization, collaborated with Siemens, COMAC, Cummins, AVIC, etc.

As Professor Tao Wu, UNNC Vice Provost for China Beacons Institute, and Dean of Faculty of Science and Engineering, said in the opening ceremony, “UNNC collaborated with multiple institutes, and is deeply involved in the research in the field of future air mobility. Relying on our international resources and disciplinary advantages, we will continue to focus on the aerospace field, and together create better life.”
