iX Cameras help The Falcon Project soar

The Falcon Project Ltd is a UK company that designs and manufactures custom solid, liquid and hybrid propellant rocket systems at facilities in the US and UK, with applications for both commercial and military use. iX Cameras has been working with Daniel Jubb, Managing Director and head of the company’s research division over the past five years to help them better test and analyze the rockets’ performance during the testing. One of the critical factors to Daniel and his engineering team is to observe and analyze the ignition and burn phases of the rocket motors they develop in-house. They conduct this by using a combination of i-SPEED 7 and i-SPEED 2 series cameras to generate high quality images from different angles and perspectives. The multi-camera configuration provides them with video that they can review in slow motion that clearly displays shock diamond formation and pattern, un-burnt propellant, shape, size and colour of rocket plume, and also furnishes crucial video data
