Latest look at future fighter jet being developed in Lancashire

The latest concept model for the Tempest in flight

NEW concept models have been released for a future fighter being developed across Lancashire. 

Bosses at BAE, alongside international partners, have unveiled a version of the Tempest aircraft with a large wingspan than previously. 

Technicians say the improvement for the next generation combat aircraft, being masterminded at BAE's Samlesbury and Warton sites, will bolster aerodymanics.

Engineers at BAE, Italy's Leonardo and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan are collaborating on the design and development of the future aircraft, which will use a range of digital tools and techniques, including computer based modelling and virtual reality to progress the project.
