Platforms
Grouped by where they sit in a programme. Each is usable alone; the value compounds when the definition flows between them.
Design & Analysis
Programmes commit to a configuration in the first two weeks and live with it for two years. That decision is usually made in a spreadsheet.
Read more Aerodynamic analysis and airfoil designTeams need coefficients and stability derivatives good enough to size control surfaces and tune a flight controller, without standing up a CFD practice.
Read more Structures, loads and marginsAirframes must be shown to carry design loads with margin, documented well enough to survive a certification review.
Read moreFlight Software
Operators running PX4 or ArduPilot across several airframe types need to know which firmware and parameter set is on which aircraft, and to prove the build flying today is the build that was tested.
Read more Autonomy and mission behaviourSearch patterns, contingency behaviour, payload triggering and geofence responses have to be authored, reviewed and tested as engineering artefacts.
Read more Fault detection, isolation and recoveryAircraft must detect faults, decide what they mean and act, with reasoning demonstrable to a regulator.
Read moreGround Segment
Operators need to plan against real terrain and airspace, fly with live telemetry and payload control, and keep an operational record.
Read more Fleet operations and airworthinessContinuing airworthiness: maintenance intervals, component life, defect history, pilot currency, and the records that prove all of it.
Read moreSimulation & Training
Flight software changes must be tested against realistic conditions before flying, and previously fixed problems shown to stay fixed.
Read more Remote pilot training and currencyPilots must be trained, assessed and kept current, with records satisfying an RPTO or operations manual.
Read moreData & Analytics
Every flight generates telemetry almost nobody reviews. Trends predicting a failure are usually visible well before it happens.
Read more Photogrammetry, mapping and LiDARSurvey flights must become orthomosaics, point clouds and terrain models with known accuracy.
Read more Computer vision inspectionInspection imagery must be reviewed for corrosion, cracking, vegetation encroachment and structural damage at a volume no human can sustain.
