Aeronautical Research Council

The Aeronautical Research Council was a UK organization established in 1919 to coordinate and fund research related to aviation and aircraft technology. Its goal was to improve aircraft safety, performance, and efficiency through scientific investigation and technological development. The council collaborated with scientists, engineers, and the aviation industry, contributing to advancements in aerodynamics, engineering designs, and flight safety. It played a key role in British aviation progress during its operation until it was replaced by other agencies in 1979. Overall, it helped support innovation and knowledge sharing to advance aerospace technology.
