ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE

Aviation Enterprises Ltd is an engineering company specialising in the design and manufacture of lightweight, high performance structures, in particular using carbon fibre and glass fibre composites.    Engineering is at our heart.      We thrive on variety (see some of the Projects that we have brought to fruition) —indeed we often apply our experience & principles found in one sector to problems in another and welcome challenges from other sectors.

Our design team has a track record of successful innovative solutions, weight saving projects and new materials technology;  and specialising in the the use of composite materials provides corrosion resistance, low maintenance, and significant weight savings as well as very good fatigue performance.

We specialise in new, challenging projects completed to demanding specifications and often difficult deadlines and recognise the need to take projects through the development stages into production with all the necessary documentation and with pre-production de-bugging all part of the service.

We do not sub contract design, tooling design, manufacture or engineering activity which speeds up the development process and ensures a compleat, consistent design whilst ensuring that we  focus the development most commercially and in the minimum timescales.

In particular, our current involvement in renewable energy projects has resulted in an unusual fracture mechanics and and fatigue analysis capability—vital to the long term low maintenance aims in this sector.

We invest heavily in materials R&D to ensure that we can take on most projects without the delay of establishing test data that can take some time to carry out, particularly where seawater conditioning etc are required for marine projects.

Certification is second nature to AEL stemming from our aviation background we are actually helping to write the requirements for Tidal turbine blades.     This subject alone demands experience and understanding of the approach and demands of the certifying authorities — AEL has that experience and knowledge of working with the CAA, EASA, DNV, GL necessary to smooth the path and ensure rapid resolution.

Testing—absolutely necessary in aviation, but can be optional in other sectors.   Where long life and fatigue are involved, there really is no option but to test as much as possible to establish the true nature of the materials and design details incorporated in the design.
