Commercial aviation contributes 2-3 % to global carbon emissions and the International Energy Agency has predicted that this will triple within the next three decades if no action is taken. In the UK the current contribution is 10% due to high levels of international traffic, and this could reach 40% by 2050 without action. The UK government has therefore set out an ambitious target to demonstrate a zero-carbon emission aircraft by 2030 within the UK Hydrogen and Net Zero Strategies.The design and manufacture of aircraft has previously focused on incrementally improving structural efficiency and productivity of the semi-monocoque parts which make up the wing, fuselage and tail, with a degree of linkage between fuel tank boundaries and structural function. However, next-generation aircraft will require energy storage using fully integrated structures and materials whilst accounting for environmental impact. GKN is the leading global Tier-one supplier of parts for most of the world's aircraft manufacturers. The University of Bath has world-leading expertise in the analysis, design and manufacture of composite parts, as well as in the creation of functional materials and their use for sustainable hydrogen energy. GKN and Bath have a track record of collaboration via a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair, eighteen joint PhDs and as formal partner in four EPSRC projects including an ongoing Programme Grant (CerTest, EP/S017038/1). Previous research has focussed in the areas of structural composites and manufacture, with most collaboration within Bath's Materials and Structures (MAST) Centre. The ZENITH Prosperity Partnership arises from GKN's ambition to realise zero-emission aircraft in the 2030-40 timeframe and the University of Bath identifying sustainability as a priority research theme. It addresses fundamental challenges within the two major research themes of Hydrogen Storage and Sustainable Structures. It brings together a highly skilled, multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers from MAST, the Departments of Chemical Engineering (hydrogen storage, heat transfer), Chemistry (sustainable polymers, porous materials) and Mathematical Sciences (statistical modelling). It will exploit links with leading research institutes and centres at Bath, including the Centre for Sustainable and Circular Technologies (CSCT), the Institute for Advanced Propulsion Systems (IAAPS) and the planned UKRI Centre of Excellence for Hydrogen Research. ZENITH will establish GKN and UK academia as world leaders in manufacture of parts for zero emission aircraft, positioning the UK at the forefront of this rapidly developing market.

商业航空对全球碳排放量贡献了2-3％，国际能源局预测，如果未采取任何行动，这将在未来三十年内三倍。在英国，由于国际交通量很高，目前的贡献为10％，到2050年，这可能会达到40％。因此，英国政府设定了一个雄心勃勃的目标，可以在2030年在英国氢和零净战略中展示零碳排放飞机。飞机的设计和制造先前着重于逐步提高结构效率和半单调零件的结构效率和生产力，构成了机翼，融合式和链接式链接式和结构的链接和结构范围的链接和结构型和结构范围。但是，下一代飞机将需要使用完全集成的结构和材料来储能，同时考虑环境影响。 GKN是世界上大多数飞机制造商的全球领先零件供应商。巴斯大学在复合零件的分析，设计和制造方面以及创建功能材料及其用于可持续氢能的使用方面具有世界领先的专业知识。 GKN和BATH具有通过皇家工程研究主席，18个联合博士学位的合作记录，并在四个EPSRC项目中作为正式合作伙伴，包括正在进行的计划赠款（CERTEST，EP/S017038/1）。先前的研究集中在结构复合材料和制造的领域，在Bath的材料和结构（MAST）中心的大多数协作。 Zenith繁荣伙伴关系源于GKN在2030 - 40年期间实现零发射飞机的野心，而巴斯大学将可持续性视为优先研究主题。它解决了氢存储和可持续结构的两个主要研究主题中的基本挑战。它汇集了一个高技能的多学科团队，由桅杆，化学工程部门（氢存储，传热），化学（可持续聚合物，多孔材料）和数学科学（统计建模）组成的科学家和工程师团队。它将利用与BATH的领先研究机构和中心的联系，包括可持续和循环技术中心（CSCT），高级推进系统研究所（IAAPS）和计划中的乌克里净氢研究中心。 Zenith将建立GKN和英国学术界作为零排放飞机零件制造的世界领导者，将英国定位在这个快速发展的市场的最前沿。
