This project seeks to demonstrate a step change in fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle flight capability. The work will apply a new morphing wing warping technology developed at Brunel University to deliver a generic (UAV) platform with enhanced flight performance, efficiency, and control capabilities up to 20% greater than that currently available. The prototype will employ wings of novel construction which possess near resistance-free compliance in twist affording real-time, closed-loop, non-linear, span-wise wing twist adjustment capabilities required for continually-optimised flight under differing operating conditions and flight requirements. Additional project partners are the University of Cambridge and BMT.

The main novelty of this project for UK's manufacturing industry of bio-composites is to optimise the feedstock (hemp shive) considering environmental and economic feasibilities. The second goal that the project addresses is to enhance the surface morphology at the interface to maximise load-bearing capacity of bonded joints, and to improve the deformational characteristics of bio-composites for structural components. The project’s pre-treatment protocol focuses on the removal of non-cellulosic constituents from the surface (i.e. impurities, hydrophobic extractives and waxes) and expansion of microstructure (i.e. swollen cell walls), to improve the surface wettability, increase the roughness, and create micro and/or nano sites for efficient/deeper penetration of the binder into the cell walls.

This project aims to introduce a greatly improved, lightweight variant of compressed straw board (CSB) for the construction industry, strong enough to accommodate structural loads both in tension and under compression. It will exploit a novel concept of industrially efficient and highly selective removal of defects in straw feedstock, using scalable methods and tools. The optimising of the straw feedstock, i.e. removing its defects and improving its surface, will substantially enhance the performance of CSBs by 50%.

Up to 10 million tonnes of wheat straw every year is either ploughed back into the land or put to very low-grade use. Our research can bring an end to the waste of this potentially valuable resource.
