Breaking New Ground in Research and Development

Stirling’s roots are firmly based in leading innovative research activities and delivering unique and advanced solutions.  Our original research activity for DERA and the UK MoD has provided many of the fledgling technologies that we have integrated into global aerospace and defence platforms as mature, proven capabilities – active controllers for fly-by-wire aircraft, and advanced autopilots and hover control for next generation nuclear and diesel submarines. Many of our technology demonstrator programmes have resulted in industry firsts.

In the US, our SBIR and STTR activity has advanced and influenced industry thinking in air vehicle control. Our research partners include NASA and leading universities such as the University of Washington.

In the UK, our Framework 7 activity ALICIA and Clean Skies Project CLARET support our business vision of positively contributing to the drive to maximise aircraft efficiencies through the development of creative and innovative technologies.

	DiPaRT Loads and Aeroelastics Hub - Promoting and aligning awareness and innovation in the reseach community.
	ALICIA - Developing technology for the All Condition Operations & Innovative Cockpit Infrastructure.
	Industry Firsts - Many of our technology demonstrator programmes have resulted in industry firsts.

Our R&D activities are focused on practical delivery and making real advances. Stirling has vast experience working on UK and EU government funded projects and welcome opportunities for collaboration. To find out more about how Stirling can add value to your research activities, please contact:
