The experience

About this day out

Opened in 1955, the Farnborough centrifuge was the first machine in Britain able to test human subjects and their equipment under the effects of high-G without exposing them to the potentially fatal risk of actual flight. For over 60 years, the Centrifuge remained at the forefront of research and training by the RAF Institute of Aviation Medicine. It is the only human centrifuge designed and manufactured by British engineers and is believed to be the oldest example in the world.
