PalLight - Development and Commercialisation of Disruptive Air Cargo Pallet

FAC技术设计了一种新的轻质复合材料夹层板的航空货运托盘。底板组件比传统的7000系列航空铝合金板轻约50%。该项目有三个成果：a）将完全在英国开发的颠覆性材料技术商业化。该项目将把一家位于伦敦的小型研发企业转变为一家盈利的国际公司。B）扩大英国的复合材料供应链，进入新市场。英国目前在航空货运集装箱和托盘市场上没有制造业务c）为了提供一种技术，帮助英国实现到2050年将净碳排放量减少到零的气候承诺，FACT已经开发了一种用于航空货运集装箱底板的复合夹层板。它已获得航空航天认证，并授权给世界领先的航空货运产品制造商。该公司现在希望利用从第一个产品中学到的知识和经验开发第二个产品，在FACT下独家销售，而不是将知识产权许可给外国合作伙伴。这笔贷款将使这一切成为可能。

FAC Technology has designed a new lightweight composite sandwich panel for aerospace cargo pallets. The base panel component is around 50% lighter than conventional 7000 series, aerospace aluminium, sheets. This project has three outcomes:a) To commercialise a disruptive material technology which has been developed entirely in the UK. This project will transform a small London based R&D business into a profitable international company.b) To expand the UK's composite materials supply chain to enter a new market. The UK currently has no manufacturing presence in the air cargo container and pallet marketc) To provide a technology that will help the UK's climate pledge of reducing net carbon emissions to zero by 2050FACT have already developed a composite sandwich panel for the base sheet of an air cargo container. It has been aerospace certified and licensed to the world-leading manufacturer of air cargo products. The company would now like to use the knowledge and experience learnt from its first product to develop a second product, exclusively marketed under FACT instead of licensing the intellectual property to a foreign partner. This loan will enable this to happen.
