📢 “The goal I want to achieve most in life is becoming an engineer. I am very passionate about engineering, physics and maths and was delighted to be selected for this fantastic opportunity.” Feedback from a lucky candidate who was chosen to go on the Food & Drink Skills Wales, Mentera, a Welsh Government funded programme. The unique opportunity with #AMRCCymru gave four budding engineers, aged between 16 and 18, to gain hands-on experience of #advancedmanufacturing, during a week-long work experience. 👉 Read more here: https://bit.ly/4cI4Z1m

Today, just before 4pm, Kingfisher roared to life! Not only did we have time for two firings, all components survived both tests with temperatures reaching over 3000 kelvin. This is a huge achievement for this team of young engineers! We want to thank all of our partners. Satellite Applications Catapult who were vital in advising om how to design for additive manufacturing as well as their help with component production. Total Carbide Ltd and Versarien® plc who machined both the combustion chamber and the injector section in record time. AMRC 's FerretWorks division for the 3D printing of our engine in Inconel 718. We want to say a big thank you to Airborne Engineering Ltd and their amazing team, who despite the stubbornness of Kingfisher, managed to light the engine and sustain combustion. We also want to express our gratitude to the admin, academics, technicians and all employees at Kingston University for assisting with making this project a reality. Without their assist with funding, manufacturing, travel and so much more this could not have been possible. Lastly but not least we want to thank Race 2 Space and the The University of Sheffield for organising and giving us the opportunity to test our engine. This competition has allowed us to take the theory we have been taught at Kingston University, and put it into practice. This provides our STEM students with vital experience thats directly related to industry, helping bridge the gap between academia and full time employment after graduation.
