The Future Automated Aircraft Assembly Demonstrator Phase 2 (FA3D2) will be a national experimental testbed and technology demonstrator in digital and informatics enabled aerospace manufacturing technologies. It is an enhancement of a proof of concept FA3D Phase 1 technology demonstrator developed and funded by the University of Nottingham at £1.5M and commissioned in June 2016. The proposal for FA3D2 has been created as a result of strong interest and ‘pull’ from a number of international aerospace companies some of which are already benefiting from FA3D.The FA3D2 project will provide a unique opportunity for UK based aerospace manufacturing businesses to test and validate world leading technologies to compete on cost and quality with the best rival offshore businesses. It aims to reduce the Capital Expenditure or Non-Recurring Costs (NRC) of a product line by implementing a flexible assembly approach. By providing higher levels of automation based on technology originating from the automotive and other sectors, the aerospace companies will benefit from increased productivity, upskilled labour force, rate increase and dramatically reduced Recurring Costs (RC) to enable UK industry to successfully compete with lower wage economies.The key to this is “High Ramp to Rate Enablement” which is a strategic requirement of the UK’s main Tier 1 Aerospace Manufacturers who are actively supporting the work currently being carried out at the University of Nottingham through a number of projects utilising the FA3D proof of concept. This FA3D2 project is aimed at addressing a strategic shortfall in the national infrastructure for the development of a next generation aerospace flexible assembly system by: • Providing a national experimental testbed and technology demonstrator in digital and informatics enabled aerospace manufacturing technologies• Building on the successful FA3D proof of concept demonstrator funded by the University with an investment of £1.5M mitigating the risks associated with building a larger facility• Converting the strong interest from industry (Airbus, Airbus Helicopters, BAE Systems, GKN, GE Aviation and others) into future projects for building UK assembly & manufacturing capability• Providing support for major ATI and Clean Sky 2 initiatives• Developing a national aerospace assembly demonstrator for digital technologies • Providing significant projected return of investment

未来自动化飞机装配演示器第二阶段(FA3D2)将成为数字化和信息化航空航天制造技术的国家实验试验台和技术演示器。这是对概念验证FA3D第一阶段技术演示器的增强，该演示器由诺丁汉大学以150万GB开发和资助，于2016年6月投入使用。FA3D2的提议是由于许多国际航空航天公司的强烈兴趣和拉动而产生的，其中一些公司已经从FA3D中受益。FA3D2项目将为总部设在英国的航空航天制造企业提供一个独特的机会，测试和验证世界领先的技术，以在成本和质量上与最好的竞争对手离岸企业竞争。它旨在通过实施灵活的组装方法来降低生产线的资本支出或非经常性成本(NRC)。通过提供基于汽车和其他行业技术的更高水平的自动化，航空航天公司将受益于生产率的提高、劳动力的高技能、费率的提高和显著降低的经常性成本(RC)，从而使英国工业能够成功地与较低工资的经济体竞争。关键是“高速率实现”，这是英国主要的一级航空航天制造商的战略要求，这些制造商正通过利用FA3D概念验证的一些项目积极支持诺丁汉大学目前正在开展的工作。这个FA3D2项目旨在解决开发下一代航空航天柔性装配系统的国家基础设施方面的战略短缺，方法是：·在数字和信息化航空制造技术方面提供国家实验试验台和技术演示程序·建立在由大学投资150万GB的FA3D概念验证演示程序的基础上，降低与建设更大设施相关的风险·将业界的浓厚兴趣(空中客车、空中客车直升机、BAE系统、GKN、GE航空和其他)投入未来项目，建设英国的组装和制造能力·为主要的ATI和Clean Sky 2计划提供支持·为数字技术开发国家航空航天组装示范器·提供可观的预期投资回报
