Morphing Wing Technology is pivotal research that can make a substantial difference in flight sustainability. That’s why ACS has invested heavily in a PhD student undertaking groundbreaking wing technology research.
Muram Abbadi is an aerospace engineer. She studied for her undergraduate degree and masters at Kingston University in the United Kingdom. She is also the first recipient of the Mountfitchet Scholarship, through which we are helping with her studies.
Muram’s interest in aviation began when she was a child and her parents used to fly with her and her sisters back to their home country of Sudan every year. These flights piqued Muram’s interest in aviation, and eventually aerospace design, specialising in new aircraft design and aerodynamic characteristics to make air transport more sustainable.
“We are proud to support Muram by investing over £120,000 GBP into her research over the next three years and excited to see how it could shape the future of aviation.” Chris Leach, chairman.
Muram knows the huge environmental benefits that can be achieved through Morphing Wing Technology and this is the reason why she chose her PhD in the subject.
As part of her PhD, Muram plans to investigate the different combinations of morphing and whether it is possible to have morphing wings that change shape at different stages of flight, to ensure the aircraft is always operating at maximum aerodynamic efficiency and operating with the least environmental impact. Notably, this technology can be applied to any propulsion system in development to further improve efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
“I want to be at the forefront of this technology when it is applied in the industry.” Muram Abbadi.
