Barrett Aerospace can design, analyse, test and validate your future air vehicle
Barrett Aerospace is becoming a pioneer of advanced UAV and E-VTOL aircraft with a formidable 'Design for Deployment' (DFD) capability. Our innovation focuses on the user prospective and can include virtual modelling, dynamic simulation, flight testing, prime structure evaluation (e.g. wing fatigue) and 'now' airworthiness & certification support.
Our focus is tending towards future flying vehicles and new space technologies. However we have already achieved success in traditional aircraft design, test & manufacturing using DFM.
Working on future aircraft
Within 10 months we successfully delivered a fully designed, tested, built and integrated flyable Alice Empennage to Eviation in 2019. Virtual simulation and a ready access to material testing allows for accurate modelling and proof of concept. A masterclass of DFM for our team.
Design for Deployment
We use our understanding of composites and aerospace engineering to integrate all additional systems and operational functionality necessary for everyday deployment. Incorporating user requirements is key to defining the initial design and ensures performance success.
Keeping the skills of the past to create the aircraft of the future
Some of us recall a bygone era of model making and flying balsa wood aircraft. This is a skill that lends itself to the creation of concept UAVs and autonomously flown aircraft, as much today as it was for our grandparents. A skill that we preserve.
