From simple folds to rocket science, mastering aerodynamics is in our DNA! 🚀✈️
Today we celebrated National Paper Airplane Day across the office with some fierce, friendly competition, and a massive congratulations goes out to our precision-engineering winner, Jon Matzer, for achieving the ultimate flight time. While Jon masterfully conquered physics using paper in our office halls, the advanced teams across Verder Scientific are helping the global aerospace and defense industries conquer much greater frontiers.
True to our guiding principle of Enabling Progress, our sophisticated material testing, sample preparation, and high-tech analysis technologies provide critical research teams with the exact tools needed to ensure structural component integrity, optimize manufacturing processes, and certify materials for space travel. Whether it is analyzing fine powders for additive manufacturing, executing elemental trace control, or examining structural phase boundaries, our instruments make the world a safer, more technologically advanced place.
Check out our video below to see Jon and the rest of the team in action during our contest, and then explore how we support full-scale innovations by visiting our page on Enabling Progress in Space and Defence. https://pulse.ly/pcxucib0kw
We want to hear from you: What was your record-setting trick for folding paper airplanes back in the day, or what is the ultimate breakthrough you are trying to achieve in your laboratory this year? Let us know in the comments below!
