The Future of Aerospace Made Better. Faster. Stronger. Cost-Efficient. Bigger. Stable. Innovative. Real.
SDA provides expert aerospace structural design services for primary and secondary structure of any kind of aerospace vehicle. If you are just getting started on an idea, need some help with that last push to a deadline before going into production, or need help fixing an issue with an existing product line, we can help. Our team has experience working with almost any class of aircraft or spacecraft.
SDA manages programs from orbital launch vehicles to handheld drones, certified commercial and military vehicles, production or rapid prototype, fixed wing and rotary wing, very large to very small.
Our design services can combine with our analysis services to provide a complete structural solution for your project.
Our analyses are rooted in hand analysis and backed by complete models. When necessary, highly detailed models are constructed of specified areas. SDA has collaborated with high-profile clients in the aerospace and defense industries. SDA has previously consulted in project design, materials choice, analysis, manufacturing, and testing of aerospace structures. We can tailor your design by cost, strength, weight or any other metric. Our engineers are experts in software tools to help you achieve your goals, and can turn raw analyses into polished, professional reports with quick turn-around.
Composites
Strategic use of composites can deliver greater control of your final product’s strength and stiffness. This necessitates a unique engineering perspective due to the high degree of directionality inherent to composites. Many companies tend to shy away from composites for this very reason. Let us leverage our expansive knowledge of composite engineering for your project.
SDA has been designing and analyzing composite structures since it’s inception. Composites are our passion and we enjoy developing new and efficient composite structures. Our experience includes large composite aircraft structures including the B-2 Bomber and F-22 Fighter programs, several space programs, and multiple unmanned air vehicle structures. One of own most renowned composites projects was the NASA commissioned Composite Crew Module. Working as part of a team constructed by the NESC, SDA played a vital role in the design and analysis of this complex structure.
