ABSTRACT
The UK and Europe have substantial experience of collaborative projects, especially in both military and civil aerospace. There have been collaborative projects in aircraft, helicopters, missiles and space systems. Defence examples include the three-nation Tornado, the four-nation Eurofighter Typhoon and the seven-nation A400M airlifter. There are also examples of successful international collaborations in civil airliners, namely Airbus which together with Boeing forms a duopoly in the world large jet airliner market.
