Renishaw Partners with Exclusive Ballooning to Launch New Accessible Hot Air Balloon

GLOUCESTERSHIRE, UK, May 16, 2025 – The global leader in precision engineering, Renishaw, is continuing its commitment to inclusivity by supporting the launch of a new accessible hot air balloon, G-MEAS. Hot air ballooning is an exhilarating experience, but for many people with mobility challenges, it has been out of reach. Renishaw has worked with Exclusive Ballooning, a UK company based in Gloucestershire, known for its strong community values, to sponsor an accessible balloon aligned perfectly with Renishaw’s ethos of diversity and inclusion.

Renishaw has been working with Exclusive Ballooning since 2012. That year, the first Renishaw balloon, G-RENI, was launched from Gloucester Rugby’s Kingsholm Stadium, marking the first balloon launch from the stadium in over a century. Over the years, G-RENI became a familiar sight across the UK, flying in major ballooning events and even participated in a daring flight across the English Channel.

As G-RENI reached retirement, Renishaw and Exclusive Ballooning collaborated on a successor – G-MEAS, an aircraft registration number with a nod to Renishaw’s expertise in measurement technology. Unlike standard hot air balloon baskets, which require passengers to climb over the edge of a 3-4 ft high basket to enter, the design for G-MEAS allows those with mobility issues to board safely and comfortably. G-MEAS features a specially designed basket with a dedicated wheelchair-accessible compartment manufactured by Bristol-based Cameron Balloons, making it one of the very few balloons in the world to offer this and the only one in the UK.

G-MEAS was built in Gloucestershire, just a few miles from Renishaw’s New Mills headquarters, by Diamond Hot Air Balloons; the new manufacturing arm of Exclusive Ballooning. Diamond Balloons is the first UK certified aircraft manufacturer since Brexit, with G-MEAS being one of its first balloons to take to the skies.

”This partnership reflects our dedication to community support and inclusivity, ensuring that more people can enjoy the unique experience of floating above the countryside,” said Chris Pockett, Head of Communications at Renishaw. “We are excited to see G-MEAS take to the skies, continuing our aim to break down barriers and provide opportunities for all.”

Andrew Holly, Operations Director at Exclusive Ballooning said, “We have always loved working with Renishaw and share in their passion for inclusivity. We were so grateful for their support when we began our journey into manufacturing and it is fantastic to see G-MEAS in the air. We look forward to continuing to make the skies accessible for everyone, with our specially adapted basket”.

Certified by the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority last year, G-MEAS was officially launched on 1st May 2025 from Renishaw’s New Mills headquarters near Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire. It will appear at events across the UK during the year, including The Lord Mayor’s Hot Air Balloon Regatta® in London, the Bristol Balloon Fiesta from August 8th to 10th, the Carmarthen Showground on June 27th and 28th, the Bath & West Showground on July 11th and 12th, Broadlands Estate in Hampshire from July 18th to 20th, and Chepstow Racecourse in Monmouthshire on September 13th and 14th. These events will offer accessible flights, ensuring that everyone can take part in the joy of ballooning.

Interview with Haysam Telib on AI-Data Driven Modeling Technology at ESTECO

It was a pleasure meeting Haysam Telib at the ESTECO Users’ Meeting India 2025 in Pune. As the CEO & CTO of Optimad Engineering—acquired by ESTECO in August 2024—Haysam now plays a pivotal role in driving ESTECO’s portfolio expansion into Explainable AI and Deep Learning. In our conversation, he shared insightful perspectives on the evolving role of AI in engineering. Check out his thoughts on the future of AI here.

DailyCADCAM: What is the meaning of explainable AI in the context of ESTECO technology?

Haysam Telib: Explainable AI are models that are inspectable and constructed with building blocks that can be interpreted and even questioned by the end-user. Once principles and their limitations are well understood, users will gain confidence in the models and will start using them confidently. ESTECO’s mission is to empower engineers with this kind of technology.

DailyCADCAM: How does ESTECO’s AI-Data Driven Modeling technology shorten product development cycles?

Haysam Telib: Honestly, it depends very much on the use case, but when it comes to very competitive landscapes, where engineers chase after top-notch performances, AI can be a game changer. In order to push performances further and further, engineers require high quality data from the very beginning to make informed decisions. But such kind of data is typically also very costly, think of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) simulations in aerodynamics or crash simulations or even experimental data. Through ESTECO’s AI Data Driven modelling, engineers will exploit all available high quality data, company-wide, even from past development cycles. This will boost their work especially in the first phase of the product development cycle and reduce risks of unexpected behaviour further downstream.  In other words, it will allow for front-loading and to allocate valuable time for final iterations and tuning that require significant human effort. 

DailyCADCAM: How does Reduced Order Models (ROM) integrate with ESTECO digital engineering software solutions?

Haysam Telib: When talking about AI, everyone has predictions on his or her mind. While this is the feature that everyone wants to test, it takes a much more articulated journey to make it a scalable and robust solution over time in a complex system like an automotive OEM. This is why here in ESTECO we’re developing a Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) platform for engineers. For example through modeFRONTIER you can standardize the simulation process to assure the quality of generated data. And you can use best-in-class algorithms to explore the design space while controlling costs. Finally through VOLTA you get governance and traceability, which is pivotal for AI systems that are based on internal data.

DailyCADCAM: How does the automation of AI/ML training simulation workflows benefit engineers?

Haysam Telib: Automation is a key enabler for a simulation-driven design process and it is no different for a data-driven process. We must all acknowledge that data is dynamic, since our engineers want to stay on the edge with the simulation capabilities or simply validate designs that are generated by an AI-assisted process. And when new data is generated, you want to make your AI agents aware of that. And the best way to achieve that is through automation together with traceability.

At the end of day, there will be an orchestrated synergy between simulation technology and AI, the former being responsible for generating data with added-value and the latter for providing fast responses.

DailyCADCAM: In what ways does ESTECO’s technology provide governance and democratize the use of AI/ML models for predictive modeling?

Haysam Telib: As I mentioned before, governance is pivotal for AI systems that are based on the customers’ data. Especially in engineering, where fractions of a percent may matter. To have a sharp model with small errors, it is mandatory to ensure the quality of the data used for training. ESTECO’s technology stack provides the governance tools to ensure that quality. Primary by providing full traceability of models and users who generated the data. Only once the system is perfectly governed, it can be deployed safely to all stakeholders that need the model. And again we provide our customers with fine-grained collaboration capability, by distinguishing roles, like AI model creators and designers who consume the model to accelerate their work.
