Products Solutions Staffing Resources Ventures About INDUSTRY Aerospace Altair brings extensive experience in overcoming the aerospace industry’s unique engineering and design challenges. Through simulation driven design expertise, we deliver significant value to the world’s leading aerospace OEM’s and Tier suppliers. Minimum Weight Design The increase in global competition and environmental awareness has necessitated the development of optimum weight aerospace structures. Aligning our expertise of using optimization technology to determine minimum weight metallic or composite structures, we have been instrumental in pioneering the establishment of Optimization Centers at major aerospace OEMs. Composites Design Altair is at the forefront of technology and its application to take full advantage of composites in the development of light-weight, high-performance structures. Through our Composites Design Environment, aerospace clients can determine optimal ply lay-up structures for weight and performance, quickly synthesize and model concepts, and accurately predict impact damage including fiber and matrix failure, delamination, rupture and crack propagation. Advanced Simulation & Analysis We have experience developing complex high fidelity finite element models to facilitate predictive virtual testing including wings, engines and aircraft interiors. In addition, we have simulated and successfully correlated against vulnerability events such as: Bird strike, Tire burst, Ditching, Passenger safety, Impact events RELATED TECHNOLOGY AND SOLUTIONS SIMULATION / OPTIMIZATION SOFTWARE DESIGN / ENGINEERING SERVICES HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING WEIGHT AND BALANCE MANAGEMENT LIGHTWEIGHTING PARTNER SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS AEROSPACE INDUSTRY BLOG FEATURED CLIENTS OEM - Fixed Wing Airbus Boeing EADS Lockheed Martin Northrop Grumman Cessna Embraer Bombardier Aerospace COMAC Mitsubishi Gulfstream OEM - Aircraft Engines GE Aircraft Engines Rolls Royce Pratt & Whitney Avio MTU Aeroengines OEM - Rotorcrafts Airbus Helicopters Boeing Leonardo Bell Helicopter Sikorsky OEM - Space Technology EADS Astrium OHB-System AG MT Aerospace ATK Launch Systems NASA SpaceX Blue Origin INNOVATIVE THINKING Optimization Centers An increasingly popular organizational approach to reduce product weight and cost Lightweight Design Innovative design can make anything lighter Spirit AeroSystems - Optimization Goes Beyond Engineering Tools Additive manufacturing offers great potential to manufacture complex structures View All >> BE THE FIRST TO KNOW Subscribe to our newsletter to learn about product training, news, events, and more!
