PODCAST: Mark Ingram of Hewland Engineering on how its motorsport heritage is helping to shape future of Advanced Air Mobility

Our next pod­cast episode is live! This week, we were joined by Mark Ingram, Tech­ni­cal Direc­tor at Hew­land Engi­neer­ing.

In this episode, Mark talks about how the company’s motor­sport her­itage is help­ing shape the future of Advanced Air Mobil­i­ty.

Mark explains how Hewland’s exper­tise in high-per­for­mance trans­mis­sions is being adapt­ed for elec­tric and hybrid-elec­tric air­craft, where effi­cien­cy, dura­bil­i­ty, light­weight design and cer­ti­fi­ca­tion are all crit­i­cal.

The con­ver­sa­tion explores the tech­ni­cal chal­lenges of devel­op­ing com­pact dri­v­e­line sys­tems for eVTOL air­craft, the impor­tance of ear­ly col­lab­o­ra­tion with air­craft man­u­fac­tur­ers, and how inte­grat­ed propul­sion sys­tems could improve per­for­mance and reduce weight. Mark also shares insights into Hewland’s spe­cial­ist test­ing capa­bil­i­ties, rapid inno­va­tion approach and grow­ing part­ner­ships across the sec­tor.

With sup­port from Hero Motors, Hew­land is posi­tion­ing itself to take cus­tomers from pro­to­type devel­op­ment through to scal­able pro­duc­tion, help­ing accel­er­ate the com­mer­cial­iza­tion of next-gen­er­a­tion elec­tric avi­a­tion.
