Applied Aerodynamic Research
Simple. Pragmatic. Engineering.
We are a research lab dedicated to solving aerodynamic challenges in transport and energy sectors. Our goal is to allow access and knowledge to the latest technologies in design, analysis, and optimization for aircraft, wind turbines, propellers and other vehicles.
Expertise
Aircraft design
UAVs, eVTOL and small aircraft architecture and envelope design
Low fidelity aerodynamic simulations
Fast and inexpensive. From lifting line to vorticity-based solvers.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Accurate simulations. RANS and optionally LES and DES.
Wind tunnel and flight testing
Validation and verification with 'real world experiments'. Sensoring, acquisition and data postprocessing.
Flight dynamics and control
Analysis of flying vehicles stability and control.
Digital twins and aerodynamic databases
Computational models that represent reality
Acoustics
Propellers and wind turbine noise reduction
Multidisciplinary Optimization
Aerodynamic, weight, propulsive, structure etc. joint optimization
Python Frameworks
Although not software engineers, we help you streamline your processes
Applications
Small Aircraft, eVTOL, UAVs
Aircraft architecture design, multi-fidelity aerodynamic simulations and models, windtunnel testing and propeller design among others
Drag Reduction
Lower consumption, emissions and better performance for the transport and sports industry
Wind Energy
Small wind turbine design and placement, blade optimization, noise reduction
Stack
These are some of the packages we work with
Why us?
Flexibility
Aerodynamic workload comes in waves: we allow you to outsource the work when you need and not pay when you do not
Customer-centric
We are here to help you. We value clear and concise communication to best understand how can we do it.
Knowledge returns
We deliver not only comprehensive reports, presentations, results or raw data but also we transfer the knowledge acquired during the process. It feels like done in-house.
Global view
Differently from other very specialized firms, our wide expertise allows to see the bigger picture
FAQs
What are your prices?
Prices can be set according to project completion or hours worked (including in case necessary the cost of materials as for windtunnel tests). In general, average price is around 150€ / hour for jobs up to 20 hours, and descends until 100€ / hour for projects above 150 hours etc. Final price will depend on several factors and will be agreed before the start of the project.
How much would it cost, for example, a CFD simulation at various angles and/or airspeeds for one geometry
If the geometry is clean so that only meshing, simulation and extraction of basic results are required, for a mesh of a few millions elements, price will be around 300E
What tools do you use?
See our stack section
Is there training available?
Yes, we provide training and material for several of the software tools we use, as well as for validation and testing. Contact us for more information!
