[3] Outside of aerospace, Boeing UK has supported charities such as the Earth Restoration Service, The Prince's Trust and the Royal Academy of Engineering, funding environmental programmes and STEM-based projects.

[12] The Eighth Air Force, formed in the US in 1941, was equipped with Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress' which participated in bombing raids on German targets in Europe while based in England.

[16][17][18] In 2004, Boeing began to expand its presence in the UK by announcing its £7 million investment to build a new training centre at Crawley, West Sussex, close to London Gatwick.

Based in Seattle, United States, the OUKIC helps British companies increase bid opportunities across defence and commercial aerospace.

[32] In March 2019, HorizonX invested $14 million in London-based start-up Isotropic Systems, alongside granting the company access to Boeing experts, test labs, and other resources.

[46] In 2013, the MOD contracted BDUK and Boeing's subsidiary Insitu for the supply of the ScanEagle unmanned aerial system as a maritime intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) asset.

[48][49] BDUK provided the sound effects of the interior helicopter cabin for the Virtual Reality Chinook project that was created to help train medical personnel of the UK Armed Forces in June 2016.

[57] Boeing UK has subsidiaries that operate in the United Kingdom offering services from flight planning software to attack helicopter training.

[65] Actuation components are used on the trailing edge of the wings which extend and retract to deliver additional lift on take-off and, when landing, to slow the plane during its descent.

[68] The investment made by Boeing UK will include contributing towards refurbishment of the runway, additional aircraft parking and hangar space and accommodation to meet US requirements.

[71] Boeing has a partnership with the University of Bristol supporting engineering programs which focus on aerospace, civil and mechanical developments, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).

The prize is given on the recommendation of the head of department in the faculty of engineering to a final year student who submits the best MSc Project in Integrated Aerospace Systems Design.

[74] Boeing UK and Cambridge developed and tested the world's first parallel hybrid-electric plane that has the ability to recharge its batteries while it is flying and using 30% less fuel than an aircraft with a petrol-only engine.

The centre develops key software for Boeing, enabling it to diagnose impending faults in aircraft environmental control systems (ECS).

The AMRC develops advanced manufacturing technologies to help reduce the cycle time and cost of producing aerospace products while improving their quality and performance.

[84] Boeing UK extended its business relationship with the University of Southampton in 2009 by sponsoring scholarships for study in the Schools of Engineering Sciences and Management.

Boeing UK is also said to have funded prizes for the highest achieving MSc students in Engineering, Operational Research and Management Science.

[85] Boeing partnered with engineering companies including Rolls-Royce and Mettis Aerospace, the University of Strathclyde and the Scottish Executive to establish the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC), located near Glasgow Airport.

The AFRC is developing forging technologies to support the design and manufacture of new products including components structures for airframes, aero engines, landing gear, power generation, cars, ships, medical devices and wind turbines.

Boeing UK, in partnership with the Royal Aeronautical Society, initiated The Schools Build-a-Plane Challenge (SBAP) programme in 2008, aimed at motivating young people in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

The scholarships are made in collaboration with British charities Help for Heroes and Aerobility who provide flying lessons in specially modified aircraft.

[90][91] Boeing UK is also a sponsor of The Air League's scholarships in flying and ballooning for both disabled people and wounded former armed services personnel.

[95][96] Boeing UK supports a personal development programme run by The Prince's trust, aimed at young people at risk of underachievement or exclusion from school.

[97] The RAEng and Boeing UK launched the 'Mission to Mars', a STEM learning resource that provides students with technology, science, engineering and mathematics of exploring space via 50 state primary and secondary schools.

[101] The workshops encourage students to experiment and think methodically in their approach to art by allowing them to use different materials and techniques by creating paintings, sculptures, collages, drawings or prints.
