Future of Flight
Driven by innovation in engineering, technology and business models, the way we move people and goods around is transforming with ‘mobility as a service’ challenging our assumptions on how we travel. KTN was commissioned on behalf of Innovate UK to undertake research to understand how UK businesses can help transform the ways we move people and goods by air. The outputs from the consultation (published November 2018) have been collated into one Sharpcloud story here.
