Consultation
We offer a number of services with a well rounded background in general aviation, propulsion systems, and experimental aircraft
Product Development
How Can We Help?
We can assist you in the capacity that makes since for your problem or goals:
- Concept Development – When you are looking for an innovative solution to a problem
- Detail Design – When you need help determining fits, strength, and evaluating manufacturability
- Reverse Engineering – When you have a competitors part you want to replicate
- Test Plans – When you need help determining how to test your component or assembly
- Troubleshooting – When you are having a problem with a product you want to solve
- Review – When you just need a second eye on your product
We are always willing to review and provide suggestions which can improve your products performance, marketability, and manufacturing cost.
Design For Marketability
Designing a marketable product is one of the most important aspects a designer can consider. We truly believe building features in which are marketable makes you stand out from the competition. These features need to be needed, solve a problem, and avoid costly complexity. When your product solves a customer’s problem and they recognize it the rest of the (sales) work is easy.
Design For Manufacturing
We are experienced with many modern manufacturing processes employed in the aviation and engine industry. We can review your design to ensure it doesn’t have complex tool requirements. We can also help you develop new manufacturing methods to solve issues when your design requires it. Sometimes (necessary) complex manufacturing processes can be good as they discourage competition and may be patentable.
We have connections in the industry and can help find you a manufacturer to build your parts if you are otherwise not equipped.
Industries Served
General Aviation Piston Engines
The majority of our customers are OEM or PMA component manufacturers for piston engine propulsion systems. We are experienced with development, improvement, and troubleshooting of these systems with background working at one of the major OEM manufacturers.
Other Aircraft Systems
We also have experience working with hydraulic systems, landing gear, and wheels. If its aircraft we are always willing to discuss your project and determine if we can add value for you.
Owners and Mechanics
Do you have a complex engine or system issue you need help troubleshooting? Another set of eyes is always a good thing, often we can assist remotely by spotting issues in engine monitor data which can reduce the hands on troubleshooting time. We can then help guide you or your mechanic though an intentional and structured troubleshooting plan.
Other Services
3D Printing
We can 3D print in many materials using an FDM printer. This could be a prototype for your application, finished part for your experimental, or custom tool to help you do a job faster.
