About

We are capable of assembling our own linux-based servers and installing the necessary infrastructure to get them to work cooperatively as a single machine. We primarily rely on our computing clusters to solve our various simulation softwares to verify and design our aircraft.

We are capable of developing our own solvers and tools to predict the aerodynamic performance of our own vehicles. We have developed in-house software to predict performances based on a non-linear generic lifting line and use these extensively for preliminary aerodynamic design. We are also capable of using more complex formulations like the Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes with various turbulence models to verify aerodynamic performance further.

We are capable of developing our own solvers and tools to predict the structural performance of our frame. We have developed in-house software using finite element with Timoshenko beam elements and use this software extensively for our own internal structural reinforcement design. We are also capable of using more complex fully three-dimensional elements to solve problematic difficult structural joints with complex loading conditions.

We are capable of designing printed circuit boards in-house with microcontrollers, FPGA, and other peripheral devices to implement a complex control scheme of any dynamical system.

We are capable of designing the software and control policies to deploy to our custom hardware stack in order to control any dynamical system. We have the full capabilities to perform system identification on our dynamical system and to implement state-space control policies such as LQR, Pole Placement, H-infinity synthesis.

We are capable of programming and using extensively 3-axis milling machines. We are capable of maintaining, extending, and callibrating our machines to achieve our desired precision to mill whatever parts that we need.

We are capable of producing large-sectioned moulds using composites that we use to produce the final shape of the vehicle.

We are capable of producing complex parts and internal structures from a composite design to integrate to the final vehicle.

We seek to design test and build our own CNC 3 axis mills and lathes, in-house with our own custom safety features. We seek to expand our techniques to ensure parallelness flatness, rigidity and precision of travel for our machines.

We seek to expand our capabilities for advanced techniques in investment casting. We are looking at novel techniques to cast large sectioned thin walled parts as well as highly durable intricate small components. We are seeking to use induction heating for our furnaces and for some of our setups, may use vacuum induction furnaces.

We seek to design and produce frames and rigs that allow us to apply cyclic loading to our structures so we can be sure of both the static and fatigue properties of our vehicle frames.

We seek to design and produce wind tunnels so that we might use them for aerodynamic validation for our vehicle.
