New Policy Paper Outlines Five-Year Mission For Next-Generation Aircraft Production
The University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) has published a policy paper titled ‘Flying high: Driving innovation, resilience and growth of UK aerospace’, outlining a strategic path to maintain and grow the UK’s aerospace sector. The paper highlights a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the UK to anchor future high-rate, low-carbon commercial flight manufacturing, with global demand expected to reach 65,000 new aircraft by 2050. The AMRC’s recommendations include de-risking industrial development, scaling the supply chain, and building skills at all levels. This was reported by Unknown Source.
