Hear more from the ATI
Sign me upAccess to aerospace technology infrastructure is critical to the validation of competitive technologies for the future of the UK aerospace industry. The UK’s facilities, tools, instrumentation, equipment and data extraction capabilities are anchor points for the domestic aerospace industry and therefore an essential component of the ATI’s technology strategy.
The ATI has mapped the UK’s aerospace technology infrastructure through a series of consultations with the wider industry and provided it free to browse.
Note that some of the infrastructure’s technical specifications are omitted for reasons of commercial sensitivity; please contact the relevant organisations if you would like further information. ATI will be periodically updating the database as new information becomes available.
If your organisation owns a facility which you believe may be of interest to the ATI, please contact us.
For more information on the National Wind Tunnel Facility (NWTF) please visit NWTF and EPSRC.
