  • The Combat Air Strategy: from Typhoon to 'Tempest'?
    BRIEFING PAPER Number 08391, 31 August 2018 The Combat Air Strategy: From Typhoon to By Louisa Brooke-Holland 'Tempest'? What combat aircraft will the RAF be flying in two decades time? The Combat Air Strategy, published in July 2018, sets out the Government’s ambition to develop a new combat air system that will fly alongside Typhoon and Lightning by 2035.1 The aerospace sector accounted for 87% of defence exports over the last ten years and the UK combat air sector has an annual turnover over £6bn.2 The Defence Secretary said the strategy makes clear the UK intends to remain a ‘world leader’ in the combat air sector. Work on the ‘Future Combat Air System Technology Initiative’ has already begun, with Government and industry pledging to invest £2bn over the next decade in exploring new technologies and retaining the skills necessary to develop, design and manufacture a combat aircraft. France and Germany recently announced plans to work together on a future combat air system and the UK will spend the next year talking to a range of potential partners and customers before making some early decisions by the end of 2020 and final investment decisions by 2025. The Strategy announces the creation of a Government/industry partnership called ‘Team Tempest’, drawing on MOD expertise and four major industry partners: BAE Systems, Leonardo, MBDA and Rolls-Royce. Box 1: What is ‘combat air’? “Combat Air refers to aircraft (manned or unmanned) whose prime function is to conduct air-to-air and air- to-surface combat operations in a hostile and contested environment; with the ability to concurrently conduct surveillance, reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and command and control tasks.”3 Tornado, Typhoon, Lightning… Tempest? The RAF’s combat air fleet is about to undergo a massive change.

  • Government and British Civil Aerospace 1945-64.Pdf
    Journal of Aeronautical History Paper No. 2018/04 Government and British Civil Aerospace 1945-64 Professor Keith Hayward Preface This paper is something of a trip down an academic memory lane. My first book, published in the early 1980s, carried a similar title, albeit with a longer time span. While it had the irreplaceable benefit of some first hand memories of the period, the official record was closed. A later history of the UK aircraft industry did refer in part to such material dating from the 1940s, but access to the ‘secret’ historical material of the 1950s and beyond was still blocked by the then “Thirty Year” rule. By the time the restrictions were relaxed to a “Twenty Year” rule or even more by the liberality offered by “Freedom of Information” legislation, I had moved on to the more pressing demands of analysing the world aerospace industry for the SBAC. 1 My years at the Royal Aeronautical Society afforded a bit more scope. Discovery of an archive on the formation of the British Aircraft Corporation, and published by the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Journal of Aeronautical History 2, stimulated a hankering to open more musty files on the 1950s. This led to a series of articles published in the Aviation Historian. However much this satisfied an initial hankering to look back to a critical period in UK aerospace, there were gaps to be filled in the narrative and the analysis. With the encouragement of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Aeronautical History, I have endeavoured to provide a more coherent overview of government policy towards the civil sector.
