The market for urban air mobility (UAM) is attracting increased investment. The development and certification of a UAM aircraft will cost around $2 billion. For newcomers to the sector, to raise such funds means it is inevitable that much of their activity must be in the public eye.

Magnomatics, the UK based specialist in magnetic gear technology, has announced that the recent grant funding of £363,460 secured has allowed the company to work on the Winder project. The project will de-risk technology required for the manufacture of large generators for offshore wind to the UK. 

Magnomatics has announced that it has secured over £300,000 in grant funding for offshore wind as part of a £5m UK government grant to develop and supply innovative power electronics, machines and drives.
