Aero Tec Laboratories Ltd

Founded in 1970 as a design and testing facility for ‘flexible composite’ materials, the firm quickly broadened its scope to include the actual fabrication of end products from its own outstanding fibre/elastomer composites. This led to the development of Aero Tec Laboratories Ltd (ATL)’s remarkable bladder-type cells, which deform under high-energy impacts. From ambitious beginnings in engineered inflatables and crashworthy fuel cell bladders, ATL has further spread its technologies into Stainless Steel/Aluminium fabricated tanks, plastic moulded tanks, compensators, accumulators, potable water vessels, self-healing ballistic tanks, bulk storage bladders, water storage devices and scores of similar endeavours. ATL fuel cells, motorsport refuelling equipment and accessories can be found in a variety of exciting projects including the entire field of Formula 1 for over 30 years, Hybrid Vehicles ‘Airlander’, the Kopter SH09 and the MoD ‘Foxhound’.
