The Airbus A380 has wings and engines manufactured in the UK.
The UK plays a leading part in the aerospace industry, with companies including Rolls-Royce playing a leading role in the aero-engine market;
BAE Systems ( оборонная компания, занимающаяся разработками в области вооружений и информационной безопасности) acting as Britain's largest and the Pentagon's sixth largest defence supplier, and large companies including GKN (концерн, производящий компоненты автомобилей, вертолетов, сельхоз техники и др.)acting as major suppliers to the Airbus project.
Two British-based companies, GlaxoSmithKline and AstraZeneca, ranked in the top five pharmaceutical companies in the world by sales in 2009 and UK companies have discovered and developed more leading medicines than any other country apart from the US.
The UK remains a leading centre of automotive design and production, particularly of engines, and has around 2,600 component manufacturers.
Scientific research and development remains important in British universities, with many establishing science parks to facilitate production and co-operation with industry. Between 2004 and 2012 the UK produced 6% of the world's scientific research papers and had an 8% share of scientific citations, the third- and second-highest in the world (after the United States' 9% and China's 7% respectively).
