Faradair and Dunlop Aircraft Tyres to Work on Sustainable Aircraft Tyre

Arun Sivasankaran - : May 18, 2021 - : 1:39 am

Dunlop Aircraft Tyres and Faradair, a new UK aerospace manufacturer, will work together on the BEHA (Bio Electric Hybrid Aircraft) development programme to create a new, more sustainable aircraft tyre, as part of the UK’s drive to Net Zero.

The BEHA is a British clean sheet designed, Net Zero-capable commercial aircraft that will not only create new manufacturing jobs, but also significantly support the UK aerospace supply chain, which has been hit so hard by the global pandemic.

Under its Build Back Better plan for economic growth, the UK Government has declared its intention to support programmes such as the partnership between the two British aerospace companies  that promotes sustainable aerospace manufacturing.  It may be recalled that the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties, known as COP26, will take place in Glasgow, UK in November.

“Dunlop Aircraft Tyres is an iconic brand in the UK aerospace sector, with a fantastic history and strong position in the existing regional aircraft market,” said Neil Cloughley, Faradair Founder and CEO. “The opportunity to work closely together in creating a new, more sustainable aircraft tyre for the BEHA delivers another piece in the sustainability jigsaw, because true sustainability is about more than reducing emissions.”

“Dunlop Aircraft Tyres is pleased to be partnering with Faradair on this sustainable aviation project which focuses on reducing the UK’s carbon footprint whilst providing a regional air travel connectivity solution,” said Clayton Redhead, Director of Global Business Development for Dunlop Aircraft Tyres. “Dunlop continue to produce British manufactured aircraft tyres from our Birmingham headquarters and as we look at new processes and technologies to continually improve our products and become the world’s first choice supplier of aircraft tyres, we believe this new project will contribute significantly to Dunlop’s next 100 years providing job security for the Midlands.”
