The Outlook for UK Aerospace – 2019 and Beyond

The aerospace sector is one of the most productive and fastest-growing in the UK. It is a highly trade-orientated and globalised industry, characterised by integrated cross-border supply chains, a high degree of concentration in large firms, and continent-spanning economies of scale. The success of UK aerospace is highly dependent on participation in European and global supply chains, which enable it to concentrate on key specialisms, including wings, fuselage and engines.

With the deadline for Brexit approaching, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers is partnering with defence experts at the British Embassy Berlin to look at the impacts of Brexit on different sectors.
