The Little Owl is an industry led project to research into a novel method of 'clean' efficient propulsion for an unmanned air system with associated technologies to facilitate extended time-on-station and long endurance.

Bonded composite patches are used to repair corrosion, fatigue and impact damage to airframes due to their superior mechanical integrity characteristics compared with mechanically fastened repairs. Such repairs also reduce aircraft down-time, maintenance labour costs and enable useful life extension. Success of a bonded repair is critically dependent on a...

Stirling are currently developing a condition monitoring and predictive maintenance solution for waste infrastructure. This managedsolution will drive financial performance throughminimised downtime.

Full Authority Submarine Control (FASC) is a new concept for submarine steering and diving systems, and combines Stirling’s proven Active Control Technology from the fly-by-wire aircraft industry with extensive experience in producing submarine autopilot and hover control software. This results in an integrated method of control which covers all steering ...

The overall aim of the SAWoF (Smart Active Wing of the Future) campaign is to establish a full understanding and appreciation of the impact of the flow controlled wing on the evolution of overall aircraft design. The key issues which are addressed by SAWoF are: • What flow control technologies offer the most potential and how should they be deployed and o...
