Funding for aerospace projects
11:50am Saturday 20th February 2010 in
SOUTHAMPTON University has joined nine others in a government-funded partnership with Rolls-Royce aimed at developing a new power source for aircraft of the future.
Business Secretary, Lord Mandelson, announced a £45m support package to research and develop more fuel-efficient, lower-carbon aero engines.
“The knowledge, skills and high-end production the UK offers give us huge opportunities to benefit as global demand for low-carbon products grows,” he said.
“These new projects will help our world-class aerospace industry to meet that growing low-carbon demand.”
The other universities involved are Oxford, Surrey, Bristol, Birmingham, Cambridge, Imperial College London, Loughborough, Nottingham and Swansea.
