Design of Aircraft and Aircraft Parts with Aerospace Engineering Solutions

by Brian Warren

The branch of engineering that is involved in the design, construction and science of aircraft and spacecraft is known as aerospace engineering. Aircraft these days have to experience tough environments where there are huge pressure and temperature differences, or massive structural loads on various components. The aircraft are thereby produced via several technologies such as propulsion, materials science, aerodynamics and avionics

Solutions for aerospace engineering are based on technical design centers that have a team of expert, highly skilled designers and engineers. This team has functions that include of designing, developing and testing aircraft, or spacecraft and missiles. They also look after targeted product manufacture methods.

Companies that provide such solutions tend to have worked hundreds of thousands of engineering hours providing engineering design and manufacture for clients across various countries. Design Service offerings include:

(1) Stress Analysis – Reports, Margin of safety optimization, Free body diagrams, Finite Element Modeling, Loads, Sizing;

(2) Design – Concept development, Component layout, 3D modeling, 2D drafting, Model Based Definition, BOM (bill of materials), and tolerance analysis;

(3) Checking – GD&T, drafting checking, 3D model checking, DMU, and product view. Much use is made of CAD (computer-aided design) and Stress Software tools such as Pro/Engineer, CATIA, Unigraphics, AutoCAD, Nastran/Patran, ANSYS.

An aerospace engineering solutions company successfully provides manufacturing solutions to assist in manufacturing parts in-house, and some assist in integrating parts to make whole aircraft. Some of the work includes tool design, jig and fixture design, manufacturing process planning, tool path generation – up to 5 axis, NC/CNC (computerised numerical control) programming and prototype manufacturing.

The company generates engineering solutions for all of upfront design, verification and manufacturing. This includes safety, reliability, product longevity, durability and functionality to international aerospace industry requirements. The solutions support compliance, reliability, software, and engineering and program management services.
