Agenda

• About ADS

• Global Aerospace and UK Industry

• So what’s changing?

About ADSADS is the premier trade organisation advancing the UK Aerospace, Defence, Security and Space

industries. We have over 1000 members of all sizes. Farnborough International Limited (FIL) which

runs Farnborough International Airshow, is a wholly owned subsidiary.

The industries represented by ADS are vital to the UK economy and are major drivers of growth and prosperity. The

following priority objectives are designed to give focus to the work ADS undertakes:

• Improve the image and profile of our industries

• Influence the policy debates of most importance to our industries

• Support UK manufacturing and our industries’ supply chains

• Encourage investment in technology and innovation

• Support business development opportunities nationally and in priority international markets

• Increase Member value

COLLABORATION

Global Aerospace

• The U.S. tops the list with 49% of

global aerospace.

• UK comes in second (although

France, third, would argue that!),

at about 6% each, with Germany

fourth at 5%

• Fifth is China. The lack of

aerospace exports differentiates

China from other top players

Surprisingly, there is no consensus on

the straightforward question, “Just How

Big Is The Global Aerospace Industry?”

Aerospace trends - Data & Digital

“Our review identified a £17.5

billion opportunity for the

aerospace sector over the next

ten years through the adoption

of currently known digital

technologies.

“Of all the sectors we examined,

aerospace offers the greatest

potential in terms of both cost

reduction and new business

models.”

Aerospace trends - Data & Digital

Rolls-Royce’s factory

generates half a terabyte of

manufacturing data on each

individual fan blade.

With 6,000 fan blades

produced each year, that’s

three petabytes of data on

manufacturing just one

component

The Airbus A350 transmits

around 400,000 parameters

per flight

Aerospace trends - Electrification

Right now, the specific energy of batteries is roughly 7% that of liquid fuel, even taking into account of electric devices being more efficient than their combustion counterparts

Turbo-electrical propulsion could be feasible within 30 years for single-aisle passenger aircraft.

Aerospace trends - Space

• UK already has nearly half of the

world’s small satellites market

• Appetite for space-born data

increasing exponentially

• Cost of launch coming down

• UK is now invested in launch

In Summary

• People the world over have a growing desire and ability to fly – seemingly nothing can abate that growth

• UK Aerospace is diverse, vibrant and healthy – a world leader in a growing global industry

• Innovations coming to the fore, and many more needed – an incredibly exciting time to be in this sector
