Services offered for aircraft development

Consulting	based on project experience of aircraft in the weight class ranging from 10...37000 kg, 3 ...65 m span, with design ceiling of up to 25 km (82000 ft), manned and unmanned aircraft, from experimental world record setting high altitude long endurance prototypes to FAR 25 certified commercial commuter jets.

Project work	Research & Development, investments and manpower required, fabrication and component cost, productivity, return on investment, business plan etc for general aviation and experimental aircraft projects

Aircraft design	Configuration for payload, propulsion and system integration, cabin floorplan and cross section, flying qualities, stability & control, weight & balance, certification requirements

Aerodynamics	Wing (lift and drag distribution, stall), fuselage, airfoils & high lift systems, trim drag, wind tunnel test campaigns, compressibility correction

Flight performance	Climb-, cruise-, specific range-, descent maps, best range/best endurance, ceiling, one engine inop characteristics,operation limitations, icing conditions, speed envelope (stall, thrust, buffet, structure)

Mission performance	Integrated performance for arbitrary mission profiles (for altitude, speed, flight mode, configuration, extracted power etc., segment/block/total time, fuel required, distances, payload/range/endurance, reserves

Field performance	Take off and landing, accelerate/stop distance, balanced field length, single engine performance, minimum unstick and control speeds, weight/altitude/temperature limits, retarding means, contaminated runway, operation map with sensitivities to temperature, altitude, weight, slope, wind

Propulsion	Performance and specifics of turbofan, turboprop, piston, electric engines, engine evaluation and selection, empirical models or full operation parameter mapping (in function of rc, altitude, temperature, speed, extracted power and bleed, with SW/data interface to all major engine vendors cycle maps), design of minimum loss propellers, off design analyse, operation map

Flight test evaluation	Flight test planning (development & certification), parameter identification & model matching of aerodynamics, propulsion and retarding means, proof of performance & customer guarantees

Weight and balance	Weight prediction, weight & balance, operational envelopes, inertias

Hyperlight structures	Aeroelastic optimization (aerodynamic & structural) of large aspect ratio composite wings for minimum required thrust/power or high speed cruise. Design of composite structures up to proven material limits. Unconventional solutions for unconventional problems.

Composite fabrication	prototyping in wet layup or prepreg technology. Low cost fabrication of high strength/high stiffness tailored beam elements
