Aerospace software platforms
One definition, from sizing to flight data
Thirteen platforms covering the aerospace programme lifecycle. The airframe you size in Planform becomes the model Crosswind simulates, the performance Sortie plans against, and the envelope Downlink judges real flights by.
The connecting idea
Design tools do not know what flew
Operations tools do not know what was designed. Every aerospace software stack we have seen breaks at that seam. Ours does not, because one airframe definition flows through all thirteen platforms.
Design & Analysis
From mission requirement to a converged airframe definition, with the aerodynamic and structural evidence to stand behind it.
3 platforms 02Flight Software
Configuration, autonomy and failure behaviour treated as engineering artefacts: versioned, reviewable and testable before they fly.
3 platforms 03Ground Segment
Planning, commanding and operating aircraft, and keeping the airworthiness record that proves how they were operated.
2 platforms 04Simulation & Training
Exercising flight software and pilots against conditions that are expensive, dangerous or simply inconvenient to arrange in the air.
2 platforms 05Data & Analytics
Turning what came back down from the aircraft into maintenance decisions, survey products and inspection findings.
3 platformsThe suite
Thirteen platforms
Each solves a problem on its own. Together they close the loop between what was predicted and what actually flew.

One model, thirteen platforms, one record
The same airframe definition is sized, flown in software, simulated, operated and judged against real flight data. Nothing is re-entered by hand along the way.
