Revolutionising aerospace financing.

Tokenisation is the next chapter after leasing, securitisation, and fractional ownership — the one that finally lets a broad base of investors in.

The aerospace sector is heading for £1.8 trillion by 2035, yet the capital behind it still sits with a handful of lessors, banks, and export-credit agencies. An estimated £100 billion of viable investments stay underfunded each year. This paper sets out how AstroFinance opens that market.

£1.8T: Aerospace market by 2035
£100B: Viable investments left unfunded each year
>90%: Private investors still locked out

Three ways an asset can be financed

The paper maps each regulated security token to a different aerospace use, and a different return.

Debt token

Asset-backed fixed yield

9–11% target

Spare parts and inventory, turned into working capital.

Revenue token

A share of operating income

Up to 15% target

Simulators, drones, and other assets that earn on missions.

Forward financing token

Pre-delivery purchase contracts

12–18% target

Parts and inventory bought ahead of delivery.
