3 ATI Market Overview

Market: Short to Medium-Term Strategy

• Upgrading and derivatives expected to dominate next 10-15 years• Production system to enable higher rates / rate flexibility and

reduced cost• Upgrading ‘raises the bar’ on replacements, now expected 2030+• Composite needs to compete with metallic on rate and cost

• Potential for new medium to large business jet platforms to 2025• Focus on increased speed and range - supersonic platforms

possible• Opportunity to accelerate systems technology

• Upgrading and derivatives to dominate next 10-15 years─ New engines and wing modifications to enhance performance─ Cost down─ Accelerating introduction of new systems technologies

• Keeping watch on Boeing “new midsize aircraft” and 929 / UAC

4 Concluding Remarks

Concluding Remarks

• Important to coordinate research from early stage to industrialisation

• Need to keep sight of longer term market requirements whilst meeting pressures in the medium term - position UK

• UK aerospace must develop capability in future aircraft concepts, their propulsion, systems and structures

This is why ATI supports this initiative, encourages involvement and will help to shape follow on activities
