Aerospace Technology & Innovation Awards 2024: Making the Difference Award
The winner of the MAKING THE DIFFERENCE AWARD is… Sensor Coating Systems (SCS) Limited.
This award celebrates the impact of small research projects and this year goes to Sensor Coating Systems for their novel technology that can measure temperatures of up to 1,500 degrees centigrade with an impressive accuracy of plus/minus 25 degrees.
The project successfully demonstrated that thermal mapping technology can be utilised under multi-cycle test conditions where engine load conditions are changing.
Existing thermal paints and coatings today usually contain toxic materials, and the judges were particularly pleased to see that the Sensor Coating Systems solution is fully REACH compliant.
