RAE for her entire career from 1919 to her retirement; Muriel Glauert (née Barker) joined in 1918 as a researcher working in aerodynamics; Johanna Weber, a German mathematician who joined the RAE after World War II as part of Operation Surgeon to exploit German aeronautical researchers and technicians and bring them to the UK; and Beatrice Shilling who went on to invent Miss Shilling's orifice, to improve the engine performance of RAF Hurricane and Spitfire fighters during the Battle of Britain as part of wider work at the RAE on aircraft engine problems during World War II. In 1930 the RAE developed the Robot Air Pilot, an autopilot that used a gyro and flight controls that functioned by compressed air. Aircraft that were developed or tested at the RAE included the Hawker Siddeley Harrier and Concorde.

RAE Larynx—1927 unmanned pilotless aircraft, surface-to-surface anti-ship missile. Malkara missile Rockets In the late fifties and through the sixties work proceeded at the RAE on several rocket projects – all of which were eventually abandoned R.A.E. – Vickers Transonic Research Rocket Black Arrow Black Prince Black Knight Jaguar Skylark Space satellites Orba X-2 – space satellite Prospero X-3 – space satellite Current use of the Farnborough site The former RAE Farnborough site is (as of 2011) occupied by: Farnborough Airport. QinetiQ. Housing, hotels, offices etc. The IQ Farnborough development includes several refurbished former-RAE buildings. The Farnborough Air Sciences Trust (FAST) museum, which has several former RAE aircraft and other exhibits. Air Accidents Investigation Branch. The National Aerospace Library (NAL), located in the former Weapon Aerodynamics building (Q134 Building), has a collection of over 2,500 technical reports produced by the RAE. The historic Farnborough factory site houses three major wind tunnels, the 24' low-speed wind tunnel (Q121 Building), constructed during the early 1930s, the No. 2 11.5' low-speed wind tunnel (R136 Building) and the 8' x 6' transonic wind tunnel within R133 Building, which was originally commissioned in the early 1940s as a 10' x 7' high subsonic speed tunnel but converted during the mid-1950s. A smaller 2' x 1.5' transonic tunnel is housed in R133 Building, while R52 Building contains the remaining 4' x 3' low turbulence wind tunnel. R52 Building had previously housed two early 10' x 7' low-speed tunnels in separate bays, which were replaced by
