Press Release
The Royal Aeronautical Society’s (RAeS) annual conference concluded yesterday. The final presentations highlighted the contrast between the enormous potential for future wealth creation, exports and high-tech employment that could be generated in the UK aerospace sector with the warning that this could be put at risk if an incoming government ignored the need to adopt a more strategic investment agenda. The conference speakers, representing leading global businesses, academic institutions and aviation and defence organisations, provided a wide ranging series of presentations and Q&A sessions. The topics discussed stretched from the recent air travel crisis caused by volcanic ash to future prospects for safer and more environmentally friendly air traffic management, air finance, the expanding prospects for British involvement in space access and the changing needs and threats in defence.
