The funding will drive forward the development of cutting-edge technologies in the UK’s aerospace sector.

This includes advancements in gas turbines, hydrogen-powered flight and the use of laser technologies for large-scale aerostructure manufacturing.

The aim is to secure manufacturing facilities and skilled well-paid jobs in industrial heartlands such as Teesside, Scotland, South Wales and East Anglia.
