AMRC Calls for National Strategy to Secure Future Aircraft Manufacturing
The University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) has published a policy paper calling for a national five-year mission to secure next-generation aircraft production in the UK. The paper outlines a strategic path to maintain and grow the sector, which contributes £14.3bn to the UK economy and supports over 100,000 highly skilled jobs. With global demand for new aircraft expected to reach 65,000 by 2050, the UK must rapidly develop and adopt advanced technologies to remain competitive. The policy paper was first reported by an unknown source.
