An occasional blog about recent projects

Meteorological aircraft

They say that variety is the spice of life – if that's the case, then my working life is very spicy indeed. One of the great joys of what I do is that I never know what the subject of my next project will be.
Some days I find myself trying to find a way to tangibly illustrate one of the many intangible quirks of quantum mechanics – often trying to come up with a visual interpretation of a concept that, by its very nature, defies visual interpretation. And, while these projects are often the most fun to get your teeth into, it is sometimes nice to have something a little more tangible to chew on.
In this case, I was asked by the Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC) to provide an infographic explaining how their flagship meteorological aircraft works. 
The FAAM (Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements) infographic featured in NERC's Planet Earth magazine and in their 'Into the Blue' showcase exhibition.

I want to be an aircraft engineer, so I love this blog of yours. Being able to read a person who wants the same thing as I do, it is just comforting. I am hoping to be able to reach my dreams in the next decade or so. I understand that it is not an easy thing to do, and it is fine. I like the challenge of being an aircraft engineer, especially in this life that we have right now.
