The technology roadmap is key here. In those terms we should actually be looking at a mix of competing with the likes of Japan, but also some disruptive leap-frogging. Investment is the key, Aviation is a big country game, and we are the big country. So we need grow with actual aircraft offereings, whilst at the same time setting up our future technological landscape to support offerings on the next time horizons. Technology is a key enabler in a successful sustainable aircraft offering. I am glad to see we are supporting this. It is good news for everyone and more so for our future technologists.
