Only an aerospace engineer can truly understand the biggest challenges of designing commercial and military aircraft. At PACE Aerospace & IT, we have an intimate understanding of these challenges and how to overcome them because our software is built by engineers, for engineers.
The first challenge is controlling costs, especially for small engineering teams and startups. Each design phase is more costly than the former, and with every change, you invest more time, money, and resources. Therefore, it’s best to make as many changes as necessary well before your design ever sees the factory floor – in the preliminary design phase.
The second challenge is having the capability to simultaneously analyze and optimize all relevant aerospace engineering disciplines, such as aerodynamics and performance. Commercial and military aircraft design teams need to go through multiple iterations of ideation, analysis, and synthesis of new concepts.
Fortunately, these challenges are easy to overcome with the right tool for the job - Desmo, available only from PACE Aerospace & IT.
The unique features of Desmo have been carefully designed to provide countless benefits in terms of faster time to solution, cost saving, better analysis, and easy reuse of invested work.
Desmo enables engineers to analyze and optimize their preliminary designs holistically - i.e. at the whole-aircraft level – which not only saves time, but money as well.
With its Multi-disciplinary Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) approach, you can develop aircraft and their subsystems, assess performance, and generally accelerate your progress in numerous design challenges.
Some common applications are:
• New aircraft and technology upgrades
• Retrofitting and variants
• Systems engineering
• Competitive analysis
• Impact analysis for equipment
Whatever your aircraft preliminary design goals are, Desmo has a solution.
As the premiere off-the-shelf software platform for aircraft preliminary design, Desmo is on the bleeding edge of future aircraft technologies, including:
• Fully electric propulsion
• Hybrid propulsion models
• Conventional, SAF, liquid or compressed hydrogen fuel
• Fuel cells and battery electric power trains
The future of aviation will be built on alternative propulsion concepts. If you agree, then let Desmo accelerate your innovative designs!
