WEAF’s Turner awarded RAeS Fellowship
18th Jul 2019 | In News | By Mike Richardson
A Fellowship in the RAeS is the highest grade attainable and is only bestowed upon those who have made outstanding contributions, attained a position of high responsibility, and/or have long experience of high quality in the profession of aeronautics.
Whilst working at Leonardo Helicopters, Turner was part of an innovative multinational team that developed the ‘Project Zero’. the world’s first electric tilt rotor concept. The Project Zero team won the Royal Aeronautical Society team gold medal for innovation.
“It is a great honour and humbling experience to be recognised by the Royal Aeronautical Society,” Turner. “I have always been fascinated by engineering and aerospace ever since I was an eight-year-old, fascinated by watching, live, the moon landing of Apollo 11.
“Innovation is at the heart of aerospace and I will continue to support my colleagues and the industry in developing new ways to move humans across the Planet and beyond. My thanks again go to the Royal Aeronautical Society for the award of the Fellowship.”
