Revolutionary Phoenix aircraft has taken flight

The Phoenix has taken off! The latest update with the Phoenix project is that it’s taken flight, thanks to the F1 Performance styled pump developed at TCS Micropumps LTD. Phoenix, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), has been designed to repeatedly transition from being lighter than air to heavier than air. This generates thrust to propel the craft forward.

The development of the aircraft was lead by the University of the Highlands and Islands, with the team made up of representatives from academia and industry. TCS Micropumps has been a key partner in this project by designing and developing a class leading air compressor to be used to help get the blimp airbourne. This F1 performance styled pump has been designed to meet performance requirements and at the same time being lightweight.

Recently, the Project has taken to the headlines and has made it’s way onto Sky News. To find out more about the update on the Phoenix project click here
