New Research Investment Aims to Shape Aircraft of the Future
FILTON, UK — Renishaw is contributing its additive manufacturing expertise to a new £17.7 million project, being led by Airbus in the UK, to develop an innovative way of designing and manufacturing aircraft wings, which will encourage a "right first time approach" and reduce development time.
More than 30,000 new aircraft are expected to be required in the next 15-20 years, replacing existing in-service models and also to expand airlines' fleets as the number of air travelers increases.
