IET Coventry Lecture

We are seeking a presentation that will link engineering to aviation for our 2020 programme. Would anyone willing to help please contact Derrick Willer


Many thanks.
  • Hi Derrick

    Thank you for your enquiry.  I am currently out of the country, but on my return to the U.K. I will progress this via the RAeS Coventry and Derby Branches.  I’m sure that they will be able to come up with a lecturer who meets your needs

    Best Regards

  • Derrick, I recently gave a lecture on behalf of the IET Aerospace Technical Network at the ICSC and ISATECH Conference in Amsterdam on future safety challenges in aviation and in particular looking at the use of new technologies such as Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in both manned and unmanned aviation. The topic was well received and I am more than happy to tailor it to focus on any particular area that fulfills your engineering to aviation for  2020 program.

  • Dear Derrick,


    Thank you for posting your request! I would like to definitely support my senior colleague David Lindley who replied to you below and in my opinion it would be great for him to give a presentation on the AI and Machine learning! Having said that, I specialise in Urban Air Mobility (UAM) or so-called air taxis, and have conducted a webinar on this topic over the summer as well as having been a panellist at the Aviation Week's UAM Europe Conference last week. Not many people are aware of this topic and it is certainly not covered (at all or in-depth) in the traditional aerospace engineering subjects and I am sure will create a lot of interest and positive response!


    Like David, I am the Vice-Chair of the (Young Professional's) Aerospace Technical Network in the IET and myself together with the rest of our committee would be delighted to support the initiative! Let me know what you think and we can definitely jump on a call and discuss all the potential opportunities of who and when can be involved - we can turn it into a little series of workshops maybe or something! Totally open to your ideas!


    Hope to be in touch soon!


    Best regards,
