How can we help?

ATI Projects

Our portfolio spans every region and country in the UK and demonstrates the value of aerospace R&D to the UK economy. Project consortia are made up of partners from industry, academia and research centres.

Our Priority Areas

Air Transport Vision

The UK can achieve competitive advantage if we work to improve the overall air transport system through new technologies such as electrification and autonomy. New sustainable services will require much closer integration of the air transport system and the UK will only remain a major player if it is at the forefront of these technologies and capabilities.

Propulsion & Power

The UK must maintain world leadership in aircraft propulsion and power by developing the most efficient systems that lower environmental impact. The development and manufacture of propulsion systems constitutes around 50 per cent of the sector’s direct economic activity in the UK. Market needs and environmental imperatives demand ever more efficient propulsion and power systems, which the UK is well-positioned to deliver.

Systems

The R&D ecosystem in the UK offers a unique mix of capabilities for developing systems technologies. Greater autonomy in aircraft control will enable a new range of opportunities to grow the UK’s capabilities in current and emerging high-value aircraft systems. Affordable, secure, safety-critical software development processes and tools will be required, including high-performance modelling capabilities for whole systems and their components.

Vehicles

The UK needs to maintain world-class design, analysis, development and certification capabilities to deliver competitive high-value systems for current and emerging markets. The UK also has real opportunities to design and make new air vehicles for the emerging sub-regional and urban markets.

Aerostructures

The UK possesses the right expertise, technology and infrastructure to be at the forefront of the design and manufacture of the next generation of lightweight, digitally enabled, multi-functional aerostructures. It must develop and exploit the latest manufacturing and assembly techniques to remain as a world leader in the design, development and manufacture of aircraft structures.
