The communication protocol is as follows: the Advisory committees engage directly with the divisions, while formal recommendations are routed through the Advisory board. The Management subsequently conveys these formal recommendations to the Supervisory board. The composition of our advisory committees is designed to be representative, with a balanced mix of members from industry, government, and academia.

Our Advanced Mechanical Manufacturing Facility specialises in high-tech, high-spec lightweight structural concepts for wind tunnel models in metal, laminates, and composites. We offer a comprehensive range of services, including product design, topology optimisation, production concept assessment, and manufacturing of prototype structures, smart wind tunnel models, and small production runs. By utilising 3D printing technology (metal additive manufacturing), we can enhance product performance thanks to the freedom of design and the ability to create complex internal structures that minimise weight while maximising performance with advanced materials.

NARSIM is a real-time, human in the loop (HITL) Air Traffic Control (ATC) simulator capable of simulating the full working environment and working conditions of air traffic controllers in detail. As such, it provides a platform for training, validation and conducting research in a controlled environment on all aspects of air traffic control and the air traffic controller. These facilities are used for research and development of new user-interfaces, user-interaction, ATC system support, new and revised concepts of operation and development & assessment of ATC training and its effectiveness.
