Opened in 1955, the Farnborough Centrifuge (or the Farnborough Man-Carrying Centrifuge to give it its full, official name) was the first machine in Britain that was able to test human subjects and their equipment under the effects of high-G flight, without exposing them to the potentially fatal risk of actual test flights.
For over 60 years, the centrifuge remained at the forefront of research and training by the Royal Air Force Institute of Aviation Medicine. The only centrifuge designed and manufactured by British engineers, it is believed to be the oldest example in the world that has hardly changed from its original state.
CSSC Farnborough and the South East Region are offering £7.50 cash back on the Centrifuge Tour.
