Concept and feasibility stage

Development Programme

COBWEB™ is currently an early-stage concept. Progression depends on engineering validation, testing, funding, partnership and applicable regulatory approval.

Current stage

Concept validation

Define requirements, use cases, constraints and feasibility questions.

Planned

Computational modelling

Explore aerodynamic, structural and system behaviours through controlled modelling.

Planned

Materials and structural testing

Assess candidate approaches through laboratory and engineering tests.

Planned

Scaled demonstrator

Build a limited demonstrator to validate selected principles.

Planned

Operational prototype

Integrate subsystems into a representative prototype.

Planned

Trials and certification

Conduct controlled trials and pursue applicable assurance pathways.

Planned

Production readiness

Prepare repeatable manufacturing, support and quality processes.

Contribute to the programme
