Prof. Bernard Hon
Summary
Aerospace manufacturing has been a key driver for advanced manufacturing covering the full spectrum of materials, design and materials processing. This presentation is targeted at major factors that need to be considered for the new generation of aircrafts such as the new C919 produced by COMAC. Starting from a personal background of a major UK £150 million project, SAMULET (Strategic Affordable Manufacturing in the UK through Leading Environmental Technologies), imperatives for green manufacturing of aircrafts will be highlighted. An integrated approach to achieve such an aim is proposed as a viable roadmap for further development.
