Simulation your programme owns, on a network no vendor can enter.
Sovereign CFD, flight dynamics, aeroelastics and fleet health on open solvers, installed on the programme's own infrastructure and readable by the certifier.
- 01Sovereign
- Most of the methods in commercial aerospace tools are in the open literature. We build on open solvers that implement them, install the capability inside your network and train the engineers who run it.
- 02Certifiable
- Readable code, published numerics and documented mesh convergence. That supports the verification and validation a certification programme needs.
- 03Integrated design
- Aerodynamics, structures, thermal and control work from one geometry and one set of loads. A design change reaches every discipline without a manual hand-off.
01Pain points
What we help solve
- 01
Simulation capability behind a licence that can be withdrawn
Critical analyses run on foreign commercial software with export restrictions. The programme carries a dependency it cannot control.
- 02
Test campaigns that cannot shrink
Without simulation fidelity a regulator accepts, physical testing has to cover the envelope, and the timeline follows.
- 03
Coupled effects found late
Aeroelastic and thermal coupling that separate tools miss until ground test or flight test.
- 04
Fleet maintenance by calendar
Sustainment on fixed intervals because the available prediction tools cannot explain their outputs to an auditor.
02Capabilities

03Questions
Questions we take on.
01Can we run the full-envelope CFD sweep for this airframe on our own cluster, with no external licence?
02Will this wing flutter inside the envelope, and can we show the analysis to the certifier?
03Which engines in the fleet should come off wing next quarter, and why?
