ASG Aerospace to build components for new flight test programme

ASG Aerospace is manufacturing major components for the next phase of Airbus' Wing of
Tomorrow programme 

Today, ASG Aerospace manufactures large, highly complex structural components for the programme, processed through its own customer approved surface treatment facility. Producing and treating these parts in-house reflects the strength of the group's vertically integrated manufacturing capability.

That role has been built over time. ASG Aerospace has supplied the programme since 2018, from metallic tooling used to produce composite wing covers to a significant number of precision machined components for the ground based demonstrator, many delivered through the group's rapid response machining capability to support late design definition and fast moving development requirements.

Simon Weston, CEO of ASG Aerospace, said: "Congratulations to the Airbus team on taking Wing of Tomorrow into flight testing. It is a significant milestone for the programme and for UK aerospace. To see the programme progress from the ground based demonstrator to the in-flight demonstrator is a source of great pride for everyone across ASG Aerospace. It reflects the technical capability and responsiveness of our teams, and we are proud to play our part in the future of sustainable aircraft wing technology."
