The Stack
Behind the Analysis
Tools, methods, and platform experience. Everything here is in active use — not a capability statement assembled for marketing purposes.
Platform Experience
CS-23, CS-25, CS-27, and CS-29 category aircraft. Structural analysis, loads, aeroelasticity, and certification documentation across the full development lifecycle — from concept sizing through to authority liaison and design data package assembly.
eVTOL aircraft with distributed electric propulsion, from initial concept architecture through to EASA certification under SC-VTOL. Hands-on experience with the specific challenges of novel platforms: unconventional load cases, limited legacy data, and evolving regulatory frameworks.
Propeller-driven basic trainers, advanced jet trainers, and 5th generation multirole fighters. Experience from concept and feasibility phase through to production support. Certification frameworks: MIL-HDBK-516C, DEF-STAN, and JSSG.
