Further Info

The Farnborough Centrifuge played a key role in aviation medicine research during its 64 year life (1955 - 2019). This is an opportunity to see this unique and impressive example of 1950's British engineering (Grade II listed).

Visitors will be able to see the man-carrying centrifuge capable of 30 revolutions per minute (equivalent to 9G) for manned experiments plus, to a limited extent, other parts, including the 'art deco' style staircase (unusual feature for a 1950s Government building) along with a look into the plant machinery room.
