Honeywell-led Consortium Awarded £14.1M for AI and Additive Manufacturing in Aerospace
A consortium led by Honeywell has secured £14.1 million in UK Government funding to advance the role of Artificial Intelligence and Additive Manufacturing in aerospace production. The initiative, part of the Aerospace Technology Institute’s ATI Programme, will explore AI-driven modelling and simulations to accelerate innovation cycles, reduce Scope 3 emissions, and strengthen supply chain resilience through qualified Additive Manufacturing of aerospace parts.
Project STRATA will develop five key components within Environmental Control Systems (ECS) and Cabin Pressure Control Systems (CPCS), focusing on energy-efficient and sustainable designs. It will also push forward next-generation thermal management technology aimed at cutting aircraft fuel consumption and supporting the industry’s net-zero goals.
Government and industry leaders, including Minister of State for Industry Sarah Jones and ATI CTO Jacqueline Castle, praised the project’s potential to cut waste, lower costs, and reinforce UK leadership in aerospace innovation. Honeywell Aerospace Technologies President Anthony Florian highlighted STRATA as a significant opportunity to boost local engineering capabilities.
Key partners include 3T Additive Manufacturing, BeyondMath, Qdot Technology, and the University of Oxford’s Thermofluids Institute. Each will contribute expertise ranging from digital twins and physics simulations to advanced heat exchanger technology and thermal management research. Honeywell will lead from its Yeovil facility, home to over 500 engineers, drawing on extensive European aerospace R&D experience.
The ATI Programme funds civil aerospace technologies in collaboration with the UK Department for Business & Trade and Innovate UK. This project represents a step toward faster, more sustainable manufacturing and positions the UK as a leader in AI-powered Additive Manufacturing for aerospace.
