ABL Circuits brings the roar of battle to a Spitfire

Case Study

Spitfire flight experience enhanced at the speed of flight

At RAF Duxford’s Imperial War Museum, aviation enthusiasts can experience the thrill of flying in an original Spitfire. To make the flight even more immersive, the organisers wanted to recreate the sound of wartime dogfights inside the cockpit - complete with authentic machine gun fire.

They needed a solution fast, and turned to ABL Circuits. Working closely with the client, our electronics expert designed the circuit, produced a full CAD PCB layout to fit within the aircraft’s mechanical constraints, and embedded an authentic Spitfire MP3 gunfire recording into a microchip. The board was fabricated, assembled, and mounted in a heavy-duty enclosure to withstand the demands of flight.

From first concept to working prototype took just a few days. The finished PCB worked flawlessly, adding a dramatic new soundscape to the Spitfire experience. The result: passengers now enjoy not just the feel of flying this iconic aircraft, but the visceral thrill of a true World War II dogfight.

“The best quality of board”

First time user of ABL and placed an order for a 4 layer board with 2oz copper on all layers. Order received in 5 days and the quality of the board was excellent. Probably the best quality of board that I have received from using countless suppliers. Would definitely recommend ABL for PCB manufacture and will be using them again for my next PCB request.
