From field to flight: The role of sustainable composites
Composites in the context of Net Zero Across all industries, businesses are working out how to get to Net Zero – or a carbon neutral position. In many cases, this requires a complete rethink about everything the business does – from supplier management to sourcing sustainable materials. The materials issue is a significant one. How

Delivering complex projects for QinetiQ
Our work on PC-12 platform projects for QinetiQ GmbH led to us becoming appointed as a Structural Compliance Verification Engineer for the company’s internal projects. Project 1: Reworking PC-12 platform to include an equipment bay The Pilatus PC-12 is one of the world’s leading single-pilot business aircraft. It also affords operators the ability to cover
Harnessing next generation composite structures in the aerospace industry
Balancing the pros and cons: Composites enters the aerospace industry Composite materials have been embraced by the aerospace industry primarily due to the weight reduction benefit they can realise in many areas of application. This is not purely because of the specific strength and stiffness properties they can achieve – they can also give other

Putting Less Weight Behind Your Argument
A greener argument for structural weight loss Like all businesses and all industries, sustainability and building a more environmentally-friendly approach to design and manufacture plays a key role in our strategic thinking – and that of our clients. The UK government’s Net Zero Strategy: Build Back Greener identifies a number of industry sectors that need
European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE)
The European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) takes place in Geneva at the end of May 2023. It’s a great forum for companies involved in this growing market, including specialist suppliers like Cascade Engineering, which can directly contribute to significant projects, rather than working as part of a much longer airliner supply chain. For

ENGINEERING FOR THE UK’s VIBRANT FUTURE
Ben Barrass, MD at Cascade Engineering, talks about the value and impact of innovative engineering in the UK. As an engineer, I’m often intrigued when I hear people say that they think the UK has lost its engineering way, and that it all now happens in China or South-east Asia. We certainly have less ‘heavy’
CASCADE’S FIRST DESIGN PROJECT SEES FINAL AIRCRAFT DELIVERED TO RAF
The final unit of one of Cascade Engineering’s earliest projects, the Poseidon anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare aircraft, already in operation in the USA, Australia and India, has now been delivered. This is the final unit in a nine-aircraft order for the RAF. Based at RAF Lossiemouth and with the ‘Poseidon MRA1’ designation, the aircraft will
