A major new centre for next-gen sustainable air transport is planned for Duxford Airfield: Duxford AvTech.
The plan comes from Imperial War Museums (IWM) and Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge. They say Duxford AvTech will be the UK’s new home for the research and development, prototype testing, certification and manufacture of new low and zero carbon aircraft technology.
Duxford AvTech is a 45,000 sqm development on land adjacent to the existing IWM site. It will be an aviation ‘innovation cluster’ focusing on low and zero carbon advanced air mobility (AAM) technologies.
