PROJECTS

These are some of the projects Airborne Engineering has been involved in.

Rocket Engineering

Airborne Engineering has been involved in experimental rocket test programs for solid, hybrid and air breathing rockets on behalf of various commercial organisations. Responsibilities have involved test vehicle construction, test instrumentation design, operation and data analysis.

Around-the-World / Altitude Balloon Record Attempts

Airborne Engineering has been involved in several record-breaking balloon projects including Breitling Orbiter 1, Breitling Orbiter 2 and the Cable & Wireless round the world Balloon attemps, and the Qinetiq-1 and 70,000ft Hot Air Balloon Altitude Record attempts.

Meteorological Data Acquisition

Airborne Engineering provided a linux-based data acquisition system for Chilbolton Observatory (part of Rutherford Appleton Laboratory). The system provided long-term logging of a wide variety of meteorological instruments.
