Murray
Dietsch, Programme Director, Land Rover, said, “There is a common philosophy
towards engineering between Land Rover and our partners Virgin Galactic. We
start with an idea and build from there, spending years refining a design and
completing virtual testing before the first prototypes see the tarmac. As our
partnership with Virgin Galactic develops, it will be interesting to get closer
to their team and explore common areas of engineering and expertise.”
