  • Extensive design, engineering and fabrication facilities located in Cambridge, UK, Canada and Australia, plus a design engineering office in Leiden, the Netherlands
  • Flight testing using a modified Hercules C130K test bed aircraft with onboard data acquisition and monitoring
  • We have the full technical capabilities of an aircraft manufacturer, taking projects from concept, design, build, test and certification to operation
  • Where operators and end-users require greater sophistication, we can design, engineer, test and certify modifications for OEM line fitment, or post OEM modification
  • Design and engineering consultancy and testing services are available for customers wishing to tap into our expertise
  • When upgrades and modification are required to maintain compliance with regulations or in response to market demands, we can design and engineer single system solutions, or complete aircraft upgrades
  • AutoCAD and CATIA for structural design, NASTRAN and PATRAN for finite stress analysis and CFDesign for flight dynamics analysis
  • Certifications to operate in EASA and FAA jurisdictions – EASA Part 21 G and J, holders of FAA STCs and UK MoD DAO

With the capabilities of an aircraft manufacturer, we can design or modify any single aircraft component, assembly or entire system based on your specifications and requirements. Using those designs, or completed designs you supply, our engineers and technicians can build or modify assemblies and entire airframes in our superbly equipped workshops and hangars.

During manufacture and on completion, we test and check according to applicable standards and specifications, meeting all regulatory and safety requirements in your jurisdiction.
