Innovative Fixed and Flexible Aerofoil Simulation Solutions

We use CAD and digital modelling to explore control positions, pilot reach, component clearances and available space. Design work establishes how parts fit and move before a physical prototype is built. CAM, laser cutting and conventional fabrication can support the next stage, with the technique selected for the part and its purpose.

Printed polymers, timber layouts and metal trials each serve a different purpose. Early models help us investigate proportions and movement paths without immediately committing to expensive production parts. Findings feed back into the digital model, supporting further prototypes and more informed engineering decisions.

Our R&D investigates how mechanisms move, locate and support physical controls. We consider mechanical clearances, mounting stiffness, loads, electrical connections and servicing together. An assembly that moves successfully in isolation still needs to be assessed alongside the rest of a simulator.

Our contribution is the hardware and its integration: controls, supporting structures, interfaces and the relationship between physical and virtual environments. We work with established simulation platforms rather than claiming to develop their aerodynamic models. Software compatibility and the intended use are agreed for each project.
