Stress Analysis and Weight Optimization

Initial Sizing, Detailed Hand Calculations, Aircraft Finite Element Models, Detailed FE Models, Stress Reports. We do it all from preliminary analysis to certification reports. Light and safe. We will keep an eye on manufacturability and complexity and deliver the best least weight, least cost, balanced solution.

Loads Analysis

We provide a basic loads engineering solution. Certification level loads for traditional part 23 aircraft configurations and preliminary loads work for advanced aircraft prototypes. Our knowledge of loads engineering plays an important part in our holistic approach to aircraft design and development.

Structures Design

Composite and metallic subassemblies, CNC machinings, weldments or sheet metal fabrications. CAD major sub-assembly work or drawing production to strict manufacturing deadlines. We know what is important to you to make sure you meet your scheduled milestones.

Mechanical Systems Design

We design and analyse moving structures – we develop all aspects of landing gear, flight controls and door mechanisms. From loads development to preliminary kinematic models, stress analysis, fatigue assessments, weight optimization, CAD models and detail drawings.

Composite M&P, Design and Analysis

Abbott Aerospace has had significant involvement in many composite aircraft development and modification programs. Glass fiber, carbon fiber, prepreg, wet laminate, infusion. We have taken multiple composite aircraft designs from initial layout to first flight.

Engineering Methods

We distribute our in-house authored engineering text book and spreadsheet methods globally and create company stress manuals for international clients. We have specialist knowledge of NACA, NASA, ARC and other public domain resources. Abbott Aerospace has developed analysis methods for a global leader in the provision of online analysis solutions.

Structures Design

Preliminary aircraft structural, cockpit and cabin layouts

We take designs from conceptual studies through configuration and layout.

Major Subassembly and component, CAD and drawings. Metallic and Composite.

We complete major subassembly designs and deliver CAD files and drawings to manufacture.

Aircraft Modifications and ISR conversions.

Design for 3D printing, 3D print optimization and prototype manufacture

We can take small to mid size UAVs from concept to flight through additive manufacturing and complete prototype design concepts within hours or days.

Our design work is based on our extensive multidisciplinary experience across hundreds of aircraft programs. Our knowledge of compliance, systems safety, reliability, maintainability, corrosion protection, manufacture, strength & durability and materials engineering inform all of our design work and ensure the optimum design for your application.
