Type Certification
There are a few things that need to happen in order to get an aircraft component or system certified. Understanding and meeting the relevant standards and specification requirements is key. After that, the component or system needs to be tested and checked thoroughly. Documentation and records must be in order, so we can help you with that.
Creating aircraft operating instructions, flight manuals, and maintenance manuals.
Setting up engineering, production, flight testing, quality control, document control, continued airworthiness tracking required by the type certificate standards and specification requirements.
Periodic audit of design and systems to the type certificate standards and specification requirements.
Here are some helpful resources
Aeronautical engineering calculators
Use a variety of online calculators that are helpful for aeronautical engineering purposes.
Airworthiness regulations
Take a look to some of the most important regulations in the aviation industry.
Technical reports
Here you will find a list of technical reports and aeronautical engineering fundamentals.
Materials survey
A materials survey, summary of the mechanical properties of some aluminum alloys and other materials for aircraft design purposes is required.
Open source solutions
Aircraft design and aeronautical engineering are extremely complex and expensive processes. Even the simplest change to an aircraft can result in costly mistakes. Open source technology can be used in aircraft design process to improve safety and reduce costs. AircraftDesign.eu provides open source software support for aircraft design and aeronautical engineering. We have a lot of experience implementing open source technologies in a productive environment. Here are some of the leading technologies we can help with.
FreeCAD
FreeCAD is a CAD software that can be used for a variety of purposes, including mechanical engineering, product design, and architecture. It's open source and very modular, which allows for a high degree of customization.
Calculix
CalculiX is a powerful solver that can handle linear and non-linear calculations for static, dynamic, and thermal problems. It can be used with different pre-processors that support the Abaqus input file format. The program also includes its own graphical preprocessor.
SMath Studio
SMath Studio is a program that helps you calculate mathematical expressions and graphical functions. It works similarly to working with a plain sheet of paper—all mathematical expressions are written in a graphical, human-friendly form.
Projects
V300 - Open Source Light Sport Aircraft
V300 is a two seat low wing all-metal Light Sport Aircraft for general aviation purposes, hobby flying, sports and entertainment.
flyelectro.com - BLDC Motors for propeller driven aircraft
Flyelectro's story starts in 2017 when a few passionate, innovative people with extensive background in aerodynamics and thermal management saw the rising wave of e-mobility. Flyelectro is emerging as a fresh alternative in the electrical motors space.
DAR Solo - a microlight/ultralight aircraft
The DAR Solo is an ultra light airplane with a single seat and a single engine. It has a high wing and is based on mixed construction, with aluminum wings and a composite airframe. This aircraft features new advanced technologies that result in an extraordinarily low weight and great flight performance.
