Innova's SolidWorks Blogspot

Innova Customer Round Peg are a Cambridgeshire based product design consultancy run by Nick Harrison. Nick is resident of Oakington, where in 1909 a pair of residents entered a competition to build the first British plane to fly a circular mile. Their design never left the ground, and a hundred years on, Nick is building a replica of the plane based on the design remodelled in SolidWorks.


Using donated materials and modern manufacturing techniques (Nick didn't want to use a hammer and chisel!) the plane is taking shape. At the moment they're looking at the engine, revisiting the original specification to give it enough power to comfortably fly.

Best of luck Nick.
