Production plans
Cutting patterns, materials, reinforcements, suspension definitions and assembly instructions.
Capabilities / Design
Strong expertise in textile wing design
Engineering and design support for flexible aerodynamic structures. Built on mechanics, informed by practical experience.
HOW WE HELPUNDERSTAND.
UNDERSTAND.
COMPARE.
DEVELOP.
A useful simulation ends in an engineering decision.
We work with designers and engineering teams to define the question, select the modelling approach and interpret the result. The aim is to connect numerical insight with the constraints of a structure that must actually be manufactured and flown.
Projects can range from a focused analysis to a continuing design collaboration.
WHAT YOU CAN COMMISSION
Accelerate your R&D
Design development
Geometry and construction recommendations, suspension architecture and assessment of candidate configurations.
CONCEPT / GEOMETRY / CONSTRUCTIONSimulation & analysis
Predicted deformation, loads and aerodynamic behaviour, with assumptions and modelling scope explained.
SHAPE / LOADS / PERFORMANCEDesign comparison
Structured comparison of alternatives to help choose which configuration to take forward.
VARIANTS / TRADE-OFFS / RECOMMENDATIONSExperimental understanding
Support for characterisation, instrumentation and the comparison of measurements with model predictions.
MEASUREMENTS / INTERPRETATION / VALIDATIONTechnical support & training
Specialist explanation and practical support for teams working with textile-wing simulation.
METHODS / KNOWLEDGE TRANSFERMANUFACTURING SUPPORTFrom design
From design
to production.
Carry the design intent into the workshop. We prepare production information and coordinate the technical handover to specialist textile manufacturers.
Industrial partners
Identify suitable manufacturers and support discussions on feasibility, materials and assembly methods.
Build & feedback
Resolve technical questions, track revisions and feed prototype observations back into the design.
