We taught ourselves rocket science, manufacturing, computer assisted design, and many other skills required to sustain an aerospace engineering operation.
HLA prides itself on novel, rugged and simplistic design. Balancing between reliability to get the job done and experimenting with new and interesting designs.
In the field of hybrid rocketry, much of our work falls under the category of experimental.
Rocketry isn't just an idle hobby. It's the silent wish of those who work for the HLA that their effort will yield new and novel designs that will flow into the river of mainstream aerospace development.
Born in atmosphere of camaraderie and common struggle, HLA welcomes all those who wish to contribute to the cause of aerospace and exploration.
Don't forget, it's rocket science! Analysis of design work and conception of mission profiles is assisted by a combination of open source (such as OpenRocket) and in-house developed computer code.
