UK Aerospace Industry – an overview The UK has a proud history of trade and co-operation employees. We can boast extensive capabilities in with many nations and leading companies all engineering, manufacturing and MRO and benefit across the world in aerospace projects at all levels from the presence of some of the world’s leading and an outstanding track-record for international companies. collaborations such as the Airbus consortium on civil aircraft, the Eurofighter Typhoon programme and the Joint Strike Fighter programme with the USA. More recently the world’s leading aircraft manufacturers have selected UK-built Rolls-Royce engines for top aircraft programmes such as the A380 and 787 Dreamliner, while UK suppliers have been chosen for crucial elements of other engine programmes. Our partners appreciate and recognise the vast array of experience and skills that this sector can bring to the most challenging of programmes. Scotland’s flying high Scotland has major activity in the aerospace, defence and marine (AD&M) industry, which is one of our highest value sectors, employing nearly 40,000 staff. Scotland is a strong contributor to the UK’s 13% share of the global aerospace markets. We can boast extensive capabilities in both manufacturing and service sectors and benefit from the presence of some of the world’s leading companies. All the key elements of an internationally competitive aerospace environment exist in Scotland today, the product of traditional and highly developed aerospace engineering and manufacturing skills and a modern flexible and sophisticated workforce. This highly skilled workforce, with a very high proportion of graduates and industry leading apprenticeship programmes, is at the very heart of our success and is evidence of Scotland’s commitment to future success. Focusing just on Aerospace, the Scottish sector is mature and highly developed with annual sales in the sector of £1.6 billion and well over 8,000 direct 1 MRO in Scotland | It could be your greatest discovery 2. Scotland’s Aerospace Strategy In Scotland, we have brought together industry leaders, stakeholders and government to form an Industry Advisory Group which acts to provide advice and guidance on the needs of the sector.

Cutting Edge Research and Skills Development Scotland is a country small in size but big on ideas. We are a country of discoverers, thinkers, entrepreneurs and innovators. Scots have a reputation for ingenuity and have produced ground-breaking inventions such as television, telephone, the pneumatic tyre, steam engine, anaesthetics, antibiotics, the hard disk drive and the first ever cloned animal. University Strengths Scotland’s spirit of innovation is just as alive today as it has ever been, particularly in the field of aerospace. Most of our 14 universities have recognised strengths in one key aerospace discipline or another and some have significant track records of innovation in aeronautical engineering. Here is a flavour of only some of the institutions and the work they are involved in: www.abdn.ac.uk/business-info – the Department of Engineering conducts groundbreaking work in optoelectronics including: hologrammetry and photogrammetry, colour holography, optical metrology, optical materials characterisation and optical methods of non-destructive evaluation. www.abertay.ac.uk/business – the School of Engineering specialises in optoelectronics and collaborates with a number of aerospace companies including BAE Systems. www.ed.ac.uk/business – as well as being the home to a dedicated Centre for Defence Studies, the university’s Department of Mechanical Engineering has particular strengths in computer controlled electromechanical solutions and engineering design. www.gla.ac.uk/businessandindustry – low/high speed aerodynamics, rotorcraft, flight dynamics, avionics, flight systems, non-linear dynamics, controls, aerodynamics testing, blade vortex interaction, aerofoil design, dynamic stall modelling, solar sail technology, www.strath.ac.uk/businessorganisations – collaborative work at the Institute of Photonics includes infra-red counter measures and sensors; other departments are prominent in Space Research (with the university being home to the Advanced Space Concepts Lab), the development of Composite Materials, Non Destructive Testing (NDT) and future air-space transportation. www.uws.ac.uk/research – the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering has specialist expertise in composite materials. Information about the research underway at Scotland’s universities can be found at: www.interface-online.org.uk Interface offers a free and impartial service to match businesses with academics, making available the world class knowledge, expertise and research facilities in all of Scotland’s Universities and Research Institutions. SDI works closely with Interface and initial enquiries should be directed to SDI at [email protected] in the first instance. 3 MRO in Scotland | It could be your greatest discovery Advanced Forming Research Centre This world-class research centre pioneers forming and forging techniques to support manufacturing for the aerospace industry and is expected to set new standards in manufacturing design. It is the only research institute in the UK in possession of super-plastic forming technologies, which will enable researchers to shape complex materials at temperatures of up to 960°C. The facilities will support the manufacture of a range of advanced products for aerostuctures and aero-engines, etc. As well as undertaking blue-sky research to lay the foundations of future forming and forging technology, the research also includes troubleshooting established industrial processes. Scotland has a long and distinguished history in developing breakthroughs in engineering and manufacturing technologies. The AFRC was designed elite technology centres supported by Internationally renowned companies to build on that history and on our more than £200 million of Government already fully involved with the AFRC world class academic research from funding over the next four years.
