Located within the University of Bristol’s Clifton Campus, the Flight Laboratory and associated offices are our main location, where we design, build, and bench test a variety of flying vehicles. The lab is fully equipped for drone development and assembly, including electronics development and integration, and is complemented by the extensive workshop facilities hosted by the Faculty of Engineering in the same building.
The University of Bristol owns and operates Fenswood Farm, a 62-hectare research facility located fifteen minutes drive from the main campus. The farm has a large airspace for field-testing drones, and a dedicated field-robotics lab shared with the School of Physics.
The Bristol Robotics Laboratory has one of the largest flight arenas in the UK, fully equipped with Vicon cameras to support the development and flight testing of control systems for agile vehicles and precision aerial manipulation.
The University of Bristol hosts a number of advanced wind tunnels that are available to Flight Lab members for aerodynamic testing of novel aircraft designs.
A range of high-performance computers are available through the University of Bristol's Advanced Computing Research Centre for simulation-based and machine learning projects.
