Lifting off with technology - NATEP


NATEPwww.natep.org.uk


National Aerospace Technology Programme (NATEP)

Delivered by UK Aerospace supply chain companiesSupported by the UK’s regional aerospace alliances

Programme managed by ADS, the UK national aerospace bodyFunded by BIS as part of AMSCI


Objectives of NATEP

○ Deliver 100 technology capabilities in the UK aerospace supply chain

○ Develop 250 UK aerospace supply chain companies technology and business capabilities and capacities

○ Create/sustain 1200 high value jobs in the UK aerospace supply chain

○ Align aerospace OEMs, mid-caps, SMEs and HEIs/Catapults within ‘Lifting Off’ strategy and its implementation

○ Deploy developed technologies in global aerospace platforms by 2020/25

o Using a proven model

High temperature heat exchanger

Lead: HS Marston Aerospace Ltd

Partners: Advanced Chemical Etching (SME technology provider) and Rolls-Royce (end user).

• Objective

–Application of new material and processes to extend operating temperature of heat exchangers by ~ 300C.

• Deliverables

–New manufacturing process specs and designs and report demonstrating higher temperature capability.

–Etching of high temp corrosion free alloys demonstrated.

• Outcomes

– LLearned how to work with higher temp material; led to successful application in new market prototype.

–New laboratory for ACE (HF free etching of Ti) now used in major new business..

AerospringLead: G&O Springs (SME)Partners:

Alloy Wire (SME), Reliable Spring Manufacturing (SME), Institute of Spring Technology (research provider), Aero Engine Controls, BAE Systems (end users).

• Objective

– To manufacture springs in novel materials chosen by the end users, eg titanium and nickel alloys.

– Testing the springs.

– Update existing design packages with test data, allowing lower mass designs.

• Deliverables

– CAD design package with new test data.

– Validated test data - accurate fatigue predictions for the first time.

– Cross-sector applications identified.

– Engineers from new customers have access to software.
