- Dynamic stall replication
- Ice prevention
- Safety Improvement
- Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) implementation

Short Listed Ideas
Five ideas managed to make it through to a final shortlist.
- Aircraft turnaround reduction
- Boundary layer control
- Knudsen pumps
- Riblets
- Eco-efficient air-conditioning
We each took one idea from the shortlist to further research. Each of us created a presentation that we would give to the other team members before deciding which idea would be taken as our final one.
Our presentations can be downloaded using the link at the bottom of the page.
