AIRCRAFT manufacturer Boeing has opened a new collaboration centre in Farnborough to accelerate research on future aircraft concepts, to work on capabilities such as better fuel efficiency, reduced noise and emissions, and increased payload and range.

The site, known as the High-Lift Aerodynamics Collaboration Centre (HiLACC), is next to the five-metre-cross-section low-speed wind tunnel leased by QinetiQ, and operated by QinetiQ and Boeing for more than 35 years.
With around 930 square metres of space across three floors, HiLACC gives Boeing and its industry and academic partners a convenient and dedicated space to collaborate on aerodynamic testing and aerodynamics research at the Farnborough wind tunnel.
The company said the facility will support testing and development for a range of programmes for Boeing's commercial aeroplanes and derivative aircraft.
The centre was unveiled by Alex Baker, the Member of Parliament for Aldershot.
She said: "I am delighted to open the High-Lift Aerodynamics Collaboration Centre today.
