The Tempest will use the latest digital technologies and is expected to fly within the next four years
Engineers and IT experts from BAE Systems Lancashire military aircraft division have started in-factory simulations of flying the RAF’s futuristic new supersonic stealth fighter plane.Its eventual production will protect hundreds of jobs at BAE Systems Lancashire factories at Samlesbury and Warton in the long term.
In a first for military aircraft design, BAE Systems’ engineers have used auto coding to create safety-critical systems software in a matter of days rather than weeks. This enables rapid assessment of the flight control systems during more complex flight manoeuvres with the simulator capturing crucial data about how the jet will handle and perform years before its first flight.
The test was conducted at Rolls-Royce’s site in Filton, Bristol, where the Concorde Olympus engine was tested in the 1960s. A team of BAE Systems engineers has led ejection seat trials, using a rocket-propelled sled travelling at speeds of more than 500mph.
