The Opportunities & Availability

Warton EZ is globally recognised for its extensive heritage at the forefront of innovative technology and advanced engineering and manufacturing, since its establishment as an air base in 1940.
84 years later and the air base has evolved, it’s seen the iconic Eurofighter Typhoon and Hawk aircraft developed at what is now the BAE Systems site, and future aerospace technologies continue to be developed on site including Tempest – the next generation combat aircraft for the UK, alongside new partnerships and collaborations, utilising advanced robotics and artificial intelligence.

The site offers the opportunity for projects and ventures to locate alongside BAE Systems in a unique supportive environment, which includes:

• Second longest active runway in the UK
• Surrounded by a diverse environment including low population density areas, agricultural areas and open water
• Open air environments to replicate example use cases
• Potential hangar capacity with sufficient ceiling height for safe indoor testing
• Access to existing aviation testing facilities, industrial and academia expertise and orientation to a defence and aviation customer base.
