AFIT is also a premier collaborator with Cranfield University on the African continent.<br \/>\nThe review is necessary because the Aerospace\/Aviation industry is under significant pressure to reduce its impact on the environment. In a bid to decarbonise the world\u2019s economic sector, various research efforts are on-going in institutions around the world. Of particular interest is alternative propulsion systems, in which Cranfield University is actively involved.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1493\" src=\"https:\/\/afit.edu.ng\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20230504-WA0004-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/afit.edu.ng\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20230504-WA0004.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/afit.edu.ng\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20230504-WA0004-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/afit.edu.ng\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20230504-WA0004-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/afit.edu.ng\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20230504-WA0004-86x64.jpg 86w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><br \/>\nThe 2022\/23 AVD Group Design Project is tailored towards providing solutions for a greener environment. The review is of a Liquid Hydrogen fuelled mid to long range civil airliner named the A-22 Aether. The project was developed from a conceptual aircraft design carried out by Prof Howard Smith and Dr Yicheng Sun.<br \/>\nThe A-22 Aether is comparable to the ALTA concept by AVM PO Jemitola and Gp Capt GE Abbe.<br \/>\nAVM AK Ademuwagun and Gp Capt GE Abbe represented AFIT at the presentation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A team from the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) Kaduna participated in the on-going Cranfield University Aerospace Vehicle Design presentation to industries.
