Cranfield University Launches New Facility for Advanced Clean Aviation Research
Cranfield University has launched a new test cell facility as part of the Cranfield Hydrogen Integration Incubator (CH2i) project, aimed at promoting clean energy research and supporting net-zero aviation innovations. The Cranfield Power & Propulsion Laboratories (CPPL), located near Cranfield Airport, features extensive laboratory space for testing aircraft power systems and sustainable aviation fuels, while also providing training for master's and PhD students. The facility's construction involved collaboration with multiple partners, including Lindum and Influence Landscape Planning and Design.

Cranfield University has inaugurated a new test cell facility as part of the Cranfield Hydrogen Integration Incubator (CH2i) project, aimed at advancing clean energy research and supporting net-zero innovation. Located adjacent to Cranfield Airport, the Cranfield Power & Propulsion Laboratories (CPPL) features 1,000 square meters of space, including ten laboratory areas and a workshop for testing new aircraft power systems and sustainable aviation fuels.
This facility is expected to contribute to research on decarbonizing aviation and provide training for master's and PhD students. Construction was managed by Lindum, with collaboration from various partners including Influence Landscape Planning and Design, Anotherkind, 3CProjects, Gardiner Theobald, DICE Consult, and Chord Consult.
