Can antone please shed light on what happened to the plans to tie up parts of the Sheffield University with the American Aircraft Company.

The plan was to bring lots of jobs to the area and work in partnership. Have the plans died a death or are they still in progress ?

Much point in posting that?

At Sheffield University, Boeing is working with their recently established Advanced Manufacturing Research Center to develop advanced technologies for materials-cutting, materials joining, metal working, castings and preformed materials. Such technologies are needed to help reduce the cycle time and cost of producing aerospace products while improving their quality and performance.

“The new Advanced Manufacturing Research Center at Sheffield provides Boeing with a top quality manufacturing R&D facility in Europe,” Muellner said. “Our work together here will not only yield breakthroughs in manufacturing technology that we can use directly, it will also allow us to transfer our results to our suppliers so that they can enhanced their capabilities and performance as well.”
