The Research & Development Zone is the vibrant networking and knowledge hub at the heart of FIA. Bringing together the very best in advanced engineering universities, Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) and the agencies that support them, our research and innovation strand returns to FIA.

This vibrant networking and knowledge transfer hub is at the heart of the airshow, offering a unique opportunity for research & technology and skills providers to showcase their latest technological advances.

Creating an opportunity to develop new partnerships with businesses, government and academia from around the world, our programme acts as the focal point for the industry’s single largest STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) outreach activity – attracting the next generation of scientists and engineers to drive our sectors forward.
