A UK firm is developing the world's first modular military jet that it says could revolutionise the way RAF pilots train and carry out operations.
Aeralis, which can be adapted to various roles and also become a fully operational flying simulator, has received support from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Royal Air Force.
Airlines have used a modular system for decades, but this is the first attempt with a military jet.
Aeralis, also the name of the company behind the project, wants the aircraft to be the RAF's next trainer aircraft – a replacement for the Hawk – but it can be reconfigured to do other jobs too.
