Listen to episode four of Future Horizons, where in part one, we explore the findings of a new report which analyses Tempest’s projected impact on the UK aerospace industry and the wider UK economy. In part two, listeners are given VIP access to an exclusive tour of the Tempest cockpit, to get a pilot’s view of the future of flight.

Part 1 - PWC Report – Powering future economies

After an independent evaluation, analysts at PriceWaterhouseCoopers have issued a report on their estimation of the Tempest programme's value to the UK aerospace industry and the potential investment in highly skilled jobs across all regions of the country. Innovation on the Tempest programme is laying the foundations of aerospace technology for those who will follow far into the future.

It is realistic to state that the work being carried out right now, will have an impact on aerospace innovation for the next 100 years. So what are the most striking features of the report and what can we learn from its findings?

Here to share their views are Jonathan Hawkings, Director of Policy, ADS, Andrew Kinniburgh, Director General, Make UK Defence and Neil Ross, Head of Policy, techUK.

Part 2 - The Pilot’s view – Powering future flight (starting at 30:53)

The podcast begins with Suzy Broadbent, Human Factors Manager, BAE Systems giving listeners a VIP tour of the Tempest cockpit to give them the pilot’s view of the technology.

Suzy then joins a wider discussion with Emma Ulmann, Principal Engineer, MBDA and Jonathan Smith, Head of Capability, Major Air Programmes, Leonardo, to help us understand how this remarkable technology is going to help the pilot think and act in ways that have never been possible before.
