Innovation happens faster when industry and academia work together.

For nearly 50 years, we've worked together with the Whittle Laboratory at the University of Cambridge to advance aircraft engines, gas turbines and other rotating machinery.

Recently our President and CEO, Dr. Eisaku Ito, attended the opening ceremony of the New Whittle Laboratory. Its new facilities will help researchers test ideas faster, learn from the results and turn them into practical technologies.

By combining world-class research with deep engineering expertise, we're helping accelerate technologies that will shape the future of aviation and power generation.

Climate change is creating new challenges for aviation. As warmer, wetter weather increases lightning frequency, airlines face greater risk of aircraft damage, operational disruption and costly repairs.

MHI’s AI-powered system, Lilac, predicts where lightning is likely to occur using real-time meteorological data, enabling pilots and ground operators to adapt flight paths and avoid high-risk areas. Learn how we’re helping to strengthen resilience: https://spectra.mhi.com/security-and-exploration/smarter-skies-how-ai-can-help-aircraft-avoid-lightning

Climate change has increased lightning damage to planes. A new MHI AI system predicts lightning strikes, so airlines can adjust routes to cut repair costs and downtime.
