AERALIS

Mission

For generations, Air Forces have faced the challenge of operating an ever-growing mix of single point aircraft designs. Each brings its own logistic support, management and training burden. Each locks the military into a single point design for a generation. Operational flexibility is limited. Change is expensive. Until now. The AERALIS system will reshape air forces with new levels of integration, configurability and sustainability, and deliver significant opportunities for UK aerospace and manufacturing. The AERALIS system creates a range of optimised configurations for established tactical and training roles, each one formed around the same Common Core Fuselage and Intelligent Integration of digital systems and avionics. All AERALIS configurations have 85% commonality of parts. Air forces can rationalise their fleets with no loss of capability, while enjoying an increase in their strategic options through the inherent flexibility of a modular system.
