4+2 facts about Output42 that makes us unique

Output42

There is a story under the name Output42

Customers often ask us where the name Output42 comes from, so here is the short story: Our name was inspired by the book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" in which an essential element of the plot is "Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything". The "big question" was asked by eminently intelligent beings from another dimension to a highly sophisticated Deep Thought computer, designed exclusively for this occasion. After seven and a half million years of complex calculations, Deep Thought gave an answer regarding life, the universe, and the rest. It was "Output is 42".

That has inspired us!

Aviation is more than just a business for us it is safety and reliability…

We formed Output42 in 2009 from a group of four funders. All of us were involved in aviation activities, from personal interest in gliding, through aviation engineering studies and extensive experience working with commercial aviation engineering software. So, we feel like a group of software aviation experts and experienced professionals. From the very beginning the Team we formed were not just a group of software developers but rather a group of individuals fascinated with aviation with… a combined total of hundreds of years of aviation experience. Commercial aviation (most of our team started their careers writing an MRO aviation system) and sport aviation (Paul is European gliding champion from 1998) are the areas where we have spent most of our professional lives.
