The National Centre in Propulsion and Power

航空航天业正在进入一个颠覆性变革的时期。赢家将是那些能够快速、廉价地开发技术的公司。这项提案的目的是改变英国的航空推进技术转让过程，使其速度提高十倍，成本降低十倍，精度提高十倍。这是基于惠特尔实验室最近的开创性试验，该试验将技术转移涉及的数字和物理系统结合在一起。该提案旨在建立国家涡轮机械空气动力学中心，这是一个国际上独特的设施，其设计具有灵活性，可以快速扩展技术转移，以满足英国未来80%的推进需求。

Aerospace is entering a period of disruptive change. The winners will be companies who can develop technologies quickly and cheaply. The aim of this proposal is to transform the UK aero-propulsion technology transfer process, making it ten times faster, ten times cheaper and ten times more precise. This is based on recent pioneering trials at Whittle Laboratory, which merge the digital and physical systems involved in technology transfer. The proposal is to build the National Centre for Turbomachinery Aerodynamics, an internationally unique facility designed with the flexibility to scale rapid technology transfer to ~80% of UK's future propulsion needs.
