Transforming for the future

Together with our suppliers, we are championing new approaches to the development and delivery of combat air technologies, using the most advanced tools and processes to ensure our products remain at the forefront of technology.

Working with the brightest minds from our strategic university research network to specialists in data, robotics, connectivity and 3D printing technology, we have developed and built a first-of-its-kind, fully connected, digital factory, which will transform the way we approach aircraft design and manufacturing. This ensures we can meet the needs of our customer requirements in a more efficient, cost effective and flexible way.
