Methods, observations, and analysis from the DCE team. Written for engineers, not for search engines.
The regulatory minimum gets you to certification. Rational gust analysis tells you what your aircraft actually experiences in service — and why the two are often further apart than the programme expects.
Panel methods are fast. CFD is accurate. Here's how we close the gap using AIC correction matrices — and where the approach breaks down.
GVT data is only useful if you know how to close the loop on your finite element model. A structured approach to mode tracking, sensitivity analysis, and model correction.
SC-VTOL is not CS-25 for electric aircraft. The differences matter — especially for loads and aeroelasticity, where the regulatory basis is still being written.
How to turn millions of load cases into a manageable fatigue analysis without losing fidelity — and why the choice of unit loads matters more than most programmes realise.
Most FSI problems don't need explicit co-simulation. The ones that do are the ones where everything else has already failed. Understanding when ALE is the answer — and when it isn't.
We'll scope the analysis and propose the right engagement model.
