COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN, ANALYSIS AND CERTIFICATION FROM CONCEPT TO COMPLETION IN FIVE MONTHS OR LESS, IN MOST CASES
With more than 40 years of Part 121 experience, we have become FAA regulatory experts and a reputable partner with virtually all divisions, including Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), Aircraft Evaluation Directorate AED), and Manufacturing Inspection District Office (MIDO). Consortia Aerospace Group offers full Designated Engineering Representatives (DER) and Designated Airworthiness Representatives (DAR) services covering every discipline (except propulsion) and certifications capabilities equivalent to an ODA. Our DAR manufacturing capabilities include airworthiness, experimental, Radio Equipment Directive (RED) conformity certifications and 1st articles.
Full design, analysis and certification services with staff of DERs/DARs with FAA delegations in all systems, all structures (excluding Propulsion)
ENGINEERING SERVICES:
DESIGN
- New product development and existing design refinement
- Develop 2D and 3D engineering drawings of articles and assemblies using AutoCAD and Solid Works
- 3D scanning using laser, blue light technology, white light, color, texture and geometry mapping
- Ability to convert 3D scan data into a solid model using Geomagic Design X
ANALYSIS SERVICES
- Metrological analysis of production articles using 3D data, Artec scanners, and Geomagic Control X allows direct comparison between production articles and designs to determine tolerancing
- Reverse engineering of products using scanning capabilities
DAMAGE TOLERANCE ANALYSIS
- Consortia Aerospace in-house DERs can perform and approve damage tolerance analysis for a wide variety of aircraft. Using our proprietary load spectrum data, Consortia Aerospace provides better inspection intervals that more accurately reflect the actual flight profiles of in-service aircraft.
- Classical stress analysis of structure comprised of plates, beams, rods, etc.
- Complex or built-up structure analysis
- Finite element modelling with Nastran/Patran
MATERIAL FLAMMABILITY ANALYSIS
- In-house flammability testing facility
- Test plan development and conformity inspection in house
- Vertical, horizontal, and 45-degree panel
- 60-degree wire flammability testing
CERTIFICATIONS:
AVIONIC UPGRADES AND MODIFICATIONS
From full glass cockpits to hardware upgrades, we’ve certified a multitude of products across hundreds of platforms. Check our STC page for a full listing of our supported certifications.
INTERIOR AND STRUCTURAL CHANGES / CERTIFICATIONS
Interior reconfigurations, LOPA modifications, antenna relocations and other structural mods often present challenges for operators. With an entire engineering staff with structural delegations and experience, we are your one-stop shop for aircraft structural changes.
IN-FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT/WIFI
Consortia Aerospace did its first WiFi STC in 2007 in the ERJ-170 and ERJ-190 series aircraft. We’ve since certified it across all the CRJ and ERJ series aircraft, as well as the B767.
FLAMMABILITY CERTIFICATIONS
Using our in-house flammability lab, Consortia Aerospace can provide turnkey solutions with the evaluation of flammability characteristics of various materials, wire and plastics.
Plastics supply chain issues? Let us show you how to certify other plastic alternatives.
OTHER COMPLEX CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS
When clients ask for solutions to complex problems, we answer the call. We pride ourselves on out-of-the-box problem solving, always in compliance with regulatory requirements. We’ve design ferry fuel systems for the ERJ and CRJ series aircraft as well as the first domestic Airborne Bio-Containment System in the Gulfstream III, used to transport Ebola patients.
