“Partnering with leading universities gives us early access to the science that will define tomorrow’s aerospace materials. It’s not just smart—it’s essential.”
Rowan Carstensen, Co-founder & CEO
Research meets real-world application
Flyber is proud to be working closely with Cranfield University and Imperial College London—two of the UK’s most respected institutions in aerospace engineering and materials science.
These collaborations give us direct access to cutting-edge research in composites, aerodynamics, and sustainable materials. But more importantly, they allow us to translate academic insight into manufacturable innovation.
Advancing the science of flight
Through shared R&D programmes, Flyber is working on improving material lifespan, fatigue resistance, and thermal performance—key factors in pushing the envelope for rotor blade performance.
We’re also exploring new bio-derived resins and closed-loop recycling methods, helping us stay ahead of the curve in regulatory and environmental compliance.
Training the next generation
Beyond joint research, our partnerships include talent development. We support PhD projects, provide internships, and participate in curriculum advisory roles—helping shape the next generation of aerospace engineers with practical, real-world insight.
This ensures the industry benefits not only from innovation today, but from a pipeline of skilled talent tomorrow.
Built into our DNA
At Flyber, R&D isn’t a side project—it’s a core part of how we operate. These university collaborations help us stay agile, informed, and competitive in a fast-moving global market.
Together, we’re not just solving today’s engineering problems—we’re laying the scientific groundwork for what’s next.
