Aerospace Consulting

Desktop Aeronautics provides consulting services for aerodynamic analysis and aircraft design problems.

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

We are experienced in applying advanced multidisciplinary optimization methods to improve aerospace designs both at the conceptual level and the detailed design level. We perform design-related work for major aerospace companies with particular focus on preliminary design of aircraft and also provide sales, support, and specific customizations of PASS, our main multidisciplinary design optimization tool that is widely used in the aerospace industry.

Previous work also includes aerodynamic analysis and design of flying toys, America's Cup sailboats, large and small unpiloted aircraft, and custom analysis and optimization codes for companies ranging from wind surfing sailmakers to NASA, Boeing, DARPA, and others. We are experienced with code development in languages from Fortran to Java. Please call or write for further details.
