The mission of the UTC is to identify, assess and aid the delivery of new and emerging manufacturing technologies in support of Rolls-Royce’s strategic intent. We are a multi-disciplinary and multicultural research team exploring key aspects of aerospace manufacturing technology, with further interest in the areas of advanced fixturing, mechatronics and on-wing inspection and repair robotic systems. The Rolls-Royce UTC in Manufacturing and On-Wing Technology was established in 1999 as part of the Rolls-Royce UTC network. We are based at the Advanced Manufacturing Building, which is part of the Jubilee Campus of the University of Nottingham (Nottingham, UK).
