It is some 50 years since the UK aerospace industry produced a new training aircraft. All that may be about to change with the development of a new family of modular aircraft by a company called Aeralis.
Military flight training provider, Ascent Flight Training, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Aeralis, the designer of a new modular British fast jet training aircraft.
Aeralis is partnering with Hamble Aerostructures, an Aernnova Group company, for integrated manufacturing design support of the common core fuselage and canopy of Aeralis’ modular jet.
Aeralis hosted a ceremony attended by The Emir of Qatar, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, revealing two full-scale replicas of the company’s modular jet at DIMDEX 2022.
