Feedback from Previous EFATS
What delegates say they gain from attending:
100% – Better understanding of ideas or concepts
87% – New people or organisations
75% – Possible work, new ideas and concepts
62% – Commercial opportunities
100% – EFATS was excellent
– and they plan to return because they say:
- “identification of challenges was top tier”
- “the sessions on superconductors, superconductor-based machines, hydrogen powered fuels, and cryogenic cooling systems offered valuable technical knowledge and deepened my understanding of emerging advancements in this field.”
- “very well organised”
- “an incredibly informative and insightful experience”
- “great to see strong contributions from Airbus and GKN Aerospace, alongside out-of-sector content from the likes of the fusion industry”
- “great mix of industry and academia”
- “just the right size of meeting”
- “a superb forum for discussion on progress toward zero-emission flight, in particular, how we can accelerate the development of cryogenically cooled electrical machines”
Be part of the community; shape the next generation of cryogenic powertrains.
Register today; join the engineers building emissions‑free flight.
