The total amount spent by the Department for Transport on both aviation and aerospace research and development is provided below. These figures include both sectors. It is not possible to separate the expenditure as many individual research projects include aspects of both:

2014/15: £1,137,725

2015/16: £2,683,895

2016/17: £1,571,768

2017/18: £1,485,789

The figures above do not include any spend which may have been incurred by other Government departments in this area.
