The vertical lift industry has a bright future with the proliferation of remotely piloted platforms, eVTOL & AAM looming large on the horizon, the strong traditional rotorcraft market as well as exciting new defense platforms under development. But what is the fuel source that will drive this future? The Vertical Flight Society Montreal-Ottawa chapter invites to learn about some promising work being done in this space in a fun, casual environment suitable for catching up and networking with you peers.<\/p>\n

Speakers include\u00a0Thomas Parsons<\/strong>\u00a0joining us from\u00a0Bell<\/strong>\u2019s Headquarters in Fort Worth, TX to talk about the work being done to accomplish the world\u2019s first single engine helicopter flight using 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) with the Bell 505. We will also be joined by\u00a0Dr. Pierre Gauthier<\/strong>\u00a0from\u00a0Siemens\u00a0<\/strong>to discuss the research being done into the use of hydrogen in gas turbine engines. And finally,\u00a0Etienne Ferland<\/strong>\u00a0from H55 Canada will walk us through the process of electrifying existing aircraft and the exciting new Canadian footprint of this Swiss company.<\/p>\n

Please join us to discuss the future of aviation energy sources at Les 3 Brasseurs Centropolis (in Laval, QC).<\/p>\n

Dinner is not included, but finger food will be available and you will be able to order from Les 3 Brasseurs. Presentations begin at 6:30, there will be time for networking before and after.<\/p>\n

About the speakers:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Thomas Parsons<\/strong>\u00a0has been a propulsion engineer at Bell Helicopter for 26 years. He is currently the Associate Technical Fellow for Propulsion, as well as an ODA Unit Member supporting FAA certification activities. He is an active participant on industry committees including SAE S-12 Powered Lift Propulsion (former chair), SAE A-22 Fire Protection and Flammability Testing (rotorcraft group lead), and the VFS Propulsion Committee. His recent sustainability efforts include participating on an international consortium evaluating alternative fire extinguishing agents to replace to Halon and leading the world\u2019s first single engine helicopter flight using 100% sustainable aviation fuel.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Dr. Pierre Gauthier\u00a0<\/strong>is a Combustion Key Expert and Global Technical Focal Point for Combustion Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) at Siemens Energy, where he is responsible for the Combustion CFD Methods and Tools Roadmap and Strategy. He has 35 years of experience in the Gas Turbine Industry, 22 of which, closely tied to the Energy Industry with Rolls-Royce and now Siemens.<\/p>\n

A Royal Academy of Engineering Visiting Professor of Low Emissions Combustion Modelling at Cranfield University in the UK, where he lectures and supervises Research Fellows, PhDs, and Master\u2019s students in Decarbonization and Low Emissions Hydrogen Technologies. Developing Methods and Tools for simulating scenarios to facilitate the transition toward Green Energy solutions and a Hydrogen Economy.<\/p>\n

Dr. Gauthier is also an Affiliate Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Concordia University in Montr\u00e9al, Canada, where he lectures in Combustion, Gas Dynamics, and Aerodynamics. He has published several papers on Combustion Modeling and Computational Methods.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Etienne Ferland is Managing Director of H55 Canada which broke ground on its new facility in Qu\u00e9bec in October 2023. Before joining H55 he spent 18 years at Pratt & Whitney Canada in multiple technical and leadership roles.<\/p>\n

L’industrie du transport vertical a un brillant avenir avec la prolif\u00e9ration des plateformes t\u00e9l\u00e9pilot\u00e9es, eVTOLs et AAM qui se profilent \u00e0 l’horizon, le fort march\u00e9 des h\u00e9licopt\u00e8res traditionnels ainsi que de nouveaux produits militaires a\u00e9riens en cours de d\u00e9veloppement. Mais quelle est la source d\u2019\u00e9nergie qui animera cet avenir ? La section Montr\u00e9al-Ottawa de la\u00a0Vertical Flight Society<\/em>\u00a0vous invite \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir des travaux prometteurs r\u00e9alis\u00e9s dans ce domaine dans un environnement d\u00e9contract\u00e9, propice au r\u00e9seautage avec vos pairs.<\/p>\n

Parmi nos invit\u00e9s figure\u00a0Thomas Parsons<\/strong>, qui nous rejoint depuis le campus de Bell \u00e0 Fort Worth, au Texas, pour pr\u00e9senter le travail effectu\u00e9 pour r\u00e9aliser le premier vol d’h\u00e9licopt\u00e8re monomoteur au monde utilisant du carburant d’aviation 100 % durable (SAF) avec le Bell 505. Nous serons \u00e9galement rejoints par le\u00a0Dr Pierre Gauthier\u00a0<\/strong>de Siemens pour discuter des recherches en cours sur l’utilisation de l’hydrog\u00e8ne dans les moteurs \u00e0 turbine \u00e0 gaz. Enfin,\u00a0Etienne Ferland<\/strong>, de H55 Canada, nous pr\u00e9sentera le processus d’\u00e9lectrification des a\u00e9ronefs existants et la nouvelle empreinte canadienne de cette entreprise suisse.<\/p>\n

Joignez-vous \u00e0 nous pour discuter de l\u2019avenir des sources d\u2019\u00e9nergie en aviation au restaurant 3 Brasseurs Centropolis (\u00e0 Laval, Qc).<\/p>\n

https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/ECMx1UEqfjQeM4gn6<\/a><\/p>\n

Le souper n’est pas inclus, mais des bouch\u00e9es seront disponibles et vous pourriez faire des commandes du restaurant. Les pr\u00e9sentations commencent \u00e0 18h30, avec du temps pour r\u00e9seauter avant et apr\u00e8s.<\/p>\n
