The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) develops and proves innovative manufacturing processes and technologies in partnership with industry, academia and other institutions, raising the UK’s competitive advantage by validating and implementing concepts identified from primary research.The aim of this £15m project undertaken by the MTC was to establish a national Aerospace Research Centre, which would enable leading edge aerospace research and projects between MTC engineers and industry experts to define aerospace technologies for the future. The Centre forms part of the MTC’s research and development campus which includes the MTC’s Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre, established to address the manufacturing skills shortage.The 8,000-square foot Aerospace Research Centre on the MTC campus is a facility which will provide a hub for the development of new aerospace manufacturing systems to full industrial scale. Current projects are investigating processes and technologies to reduce carbon emissions from engines with research focusing on tooling for assembly, additive manufacturing and automation to improve engine design, making them more fuel-efficient and reducing the time to manufacture. The Centre is working on next generation innovations such as improved assembly technologies to improve laminar wing flows and reduce surface contamination to reduce drag and enhance aircraft performance. Digitising manufacturing and other big data technologies are already being adopted by aerospace with many aerospace companies investing significant resources in this area, aiming to deploy it within many of their operations. This Fourth Industrial Revolution is driven by advances in sensor technology, connectivity and data analytics and the Centre is a partner in leading the UK strategy for this.The Centre was formally opened at the MTC in Coventry in 2015. The opening ceremony was performed by Anna Soubry MP, who was the Minister for Small Business Industry and Enterprise.

制造技术中心 (MTC) 与工业界、学术界和其他机构合作开发和证明创新的制造工艺和技术，通过验证和实施初步研究中确定的概念来提高英国的竞争优势。这个 1500 万英镑的项目的目标是由MTC 将建立一个国家航空航天研究中心，该中心将使 MTC 工程师和行业专家能够进行前沿的航空航天研究和项目，以定义未来的航空航天技术。该中心是 MTC 研发园区的一部分，其中包括： MTC 的先进制造培训中心是为了解决制造技能短缺问题而建立的。MTC 园区内占地 8,000 平方英尺的航空航天研究中心将为开发新的航空航天制造系统提供一个全面工业规模的中心。该中心研究减少发动机碳排放的工艺和技术，重点研究装配工具、增材制造和自动化，以改进发动机设计，提高燃油效率并缩短制造时间。改进的装配技术航空航天业已采用数字化制造和其他大数据技术，改善层流机翼流动并减少表面污染，以减少阻力并提高飞机性能，许多航空航天公司在该领域投入了大量资源，旨在将其部署到其许多业务中。第四次工业革命是由传感器技术、连接和数据分析的进步推动的，该中心是领导英国这一战略的合作伙伴。该中心于 2015 年在考文垂的 MTC 正式开业。开幕式由 Anna 主持苏布里议员，曾任小企业工业和企业部长。
