Extract

Throughout its existence the organisation now known as British Aerospace, Warton Division has been primarily concerned with the design and manufacture of advanced combat aircraft. Often it is in this class of aircraft that the advantages of developments in structures and materials are first realised on a production basis.

This paper briefly describes some of the currrent involvement of Warton structural engineers in material selection, technology demonstrators and future projects for the next generation of combat aircraft.
