HIAL’s Kirkwall Airport is home to the test centre and builds upon the pioneering role Orkney has played in innovative community energy projects.ĪRC Aero Systems, Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV), and Cormorant SEAplanes have now joined the international consortium as technology partners, to bring access to new technologies which will complement the existing offering, while demonstrating a wider range of sustainable aviation technology. The funding will support Phase 2 of SATE, led by Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd (HIAL), which aims to build on the success of the project which has already created the UK’s first low-carbon aviation test centre embedded at a commercial airport since launching in November 2020. ![]()
