Aerospace Consulting

Desktop Aeronautics provides consulting services for aerodynamic analysis and aircraft design. We work with companies of all sizes on an interim and long-term basis to supplement their technical staff with our specialized expertise.

Our clients turn to us because we have a lengthy track record in applying advanced multidisciplinary optimization methods to improve aerospace designs at both the conceptual and preliminary phases. By augmenting their efforts with our experience and simulation capabilities, our clients can design unconventional aircraft to achieve ambitious performance targets with greater confidence and success.

As part of our consulting, we also provide sales, support, and specific customizations of PASS, our main multidisciplinary design optimization tool that is widely used in the aerospace industry.

We have extensive experience in applying aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, noise, emissions, and aeroelastic analyses to assess the performance of aerospace vehicles. The analysis methods cover a wide range of fidelity from linear and statistical methods that run on a typical desktop computer to advanced CFD methods that exploit modern supercomputing technology.

In some cases we provide third-party design validation and support for flight, wind tunnel, or rocket sled experiments. In others, we are called upon to drive design efforts directly.

Previous work also includes aerodynamic analysis and design of America's Cup sailboats, large and small unpiloted aircraft, and flying toys. We have also provided custom analysis and optimization software for aerospace organizations such as Aerion Corporation, AeroVironment, Airbus, Boeing, DARPA, ICON Aircraft, National Institute of Aerospace, NASA, Northrop Grumman, and others.
