“If it had not been for NATEP we would have been unable to have assembled the expert consortium or to engage in this critical propulsion system development programme which is delivering breakthrough results.” Ashley Bryant, Managing and Technical Director, VTOL Technologies Ltd.”

"The COP-E4 project would not have happened without NATEP. It was high risk and we could not get funding. The potential impact however on both the environment and fuel saving is significant and now we have reached a stage where all the people who were previously on the periphery of what we were doing, but who would not commit, have become interested"

"Embedded Logic Ltd has been developing flight control systems for large competition class model helicopters since 2004. We were a reasonably successful small company with a turnover peaking at £600k. Around 2013 the market experienced a decline leaving us in an uncertain position. The NATEP Project allowed us to safeguard an engineering position and, repurpose and extend our controller technology to be used in large UAVs like the SkyBike (our Lead partner)."
