DESCRIPTION:*How research at the Whittle Laboratory is helping to deliver 
 zero emission flight and uncover the mysteries of cricket ball swing.*\n\n
 For the last 50 years\, the Whittle Laboratory in Cambridge has helped to 
 develop the efficient\, reliable and safe power generation and aircraft pr
 opulsion systems we take for granted today. The next great challenge is to
  deliver zero carbon power and propulsion and we are working hard\, alongs
 ide our industrial partners\, government and other universities\, to deliv
 er the technologies needed to make this step. My talk will explain the pot
 ential and address some of the challenges associated with using zero emiss
 ion\, "Electric Jet Engines"\, for flight.\n\nAs well as tackling the clim
 ate change challenge\, the Whittle Lab has a long history of investigating
  sports aerodynamics. In the second half of the talk\, we will see how the
  science used to design and test jet engines has been used to understand t
 he mysterious art of swing bowling in cricket.\n\nAll welcome. More detail
