2005
With the
success of Seaflow (above), AEL was invited to design and build the
blades for the 1.2MW Seagen project, which was completed on schedule and
which became the first fully operational tidal station in the world

2002
AEL’s
first involvement in renewable energy, the blades for the first tidal
turbine in the UK where designed and built to schedule in 6 months.
Lots of lessons learned and this formed the basis of later R&D
investment to underpin our involvement in this industry

2006
Our
aviation background, renewables experience and carbon fibre design
skills prompted Quiet Revolution to award the mechanical design contract
for the QR5 vertical axis wind turbine to AEL.
We worked closely with QR engineers at our development site to
complete design, testing and pre production of 20 turbines to hand over
to the clients factory for mass production in Wales.

2009
Blades for prototype Tidal Generation machine designed and built by AEL

2010
AEL
completes design and testing of its revolutionary patent design for the
attachment or tidal turbine blades
