Our latest design pairs a carbon-fibre blended wing with twin ducted fans for vertical take-off and efficient forward flight. The power and avionics sit in one removable ducted-fan module, so payloads and electronics can be swapped without rebuilding the airframe.
From a first concept study to certification evidence, we join your programme at the stage you need and leave you with models, data and know-how you own.
Concept trades, design, validation, qualification and in-service support.
Simulation-trained models that run beside the real asset to predict and diagnose.
Ice accretion, performance loss and ice-protection analysis for compliance evidence.
Rotor, propeller, fan and jet noise from scale-resolving flow simulation.
Flow-induced vibration and the noise radiated by panels, housings and cabins.
Thermal, structural, fluid-structure and system-level studies on demand.
We work with the solvers industry trusts: proven open-source codes for most projects, which keep your costs down and your models portable, and Ansys where a client standard or a certification path calls for it.
Our simulation work is checked against real hardware in our own lab, and our drones are designed with the same tools we use for clients. You get answers that hold up outside the computer.
We support start-ups, OEMs, research labs and defence programmes at every technology readiness level, with engineering that is matched to the decision you need to make next.
Our integrated digital engineering approach carries one set of models from concept to sustainment. Select a level below to see what it means and how we help at that stage.
One connected set of models runs from concept to sustainment. Images are from AeroKyne simulation work. On a phone, scroll sideways to see the full path.
Simulation evidence for flight in icing conditions, prepared to support your certification plan with the authority.
Noise prediction from scale-resolving flow simulation, so you can design quiet from the start rather than fix it late.
We follow flow-induced pressure into the structure and out again as radiated sound, for products where vibration and noise go together.
Physics-based twins that predict performance, detect faults and test what-if scenarios on live operating data.
Our technical director holds vendor and professional certifications across simulation, systems engineering and data science.

We stay with your product across several TRL stages.
An AeroKyne engineer works inside your team for a set period.
Independent review of your models, methods and results.
We develop custom UAVs for clients and our own research platforms. Every design is sized, simulated and stress-checked before the first part is cut, then flight-tested at our R&D lab.
Lift, drag and stability for multirotors, fixed-wing and hybrid VTOL configurations.
Matching motors, propellers or ducted fans and battery packs to the mission's speed and endurance.
Structural and vibration checks so frames survive crashes and keep sensors steady.
Flight controller setup, radio links, FPV, GPS and payload integration.
Rotor noise prediction and low-noise propeller choices for urban and surveillance use.
Rapid prototypes and instrumented flights, with data fed back into the design.
Mission, payload, range, speed and budget agreed up front.
Configuration trades and component selection.
Aero, structure, noise and power checked in software.
Build, bench-test and tune at our lab.
Measured performance, refinement and hand-over.
We build our own aircraft to test new ideas quickly. They also become teaching platforms for our courses and the flying club.
A single rotating wing driven by a ducted fan at its tip. A research platform for rotating-wing aerodynamics and unconventional flight control.
A low-drag quadcopter designed for very high speed that detects and follows a moving target in real time. A testbed for drag reduction and onboard vision.
A mobile atmospheric water generator with a solar roof and battery storage. A thermal-fluids R&D project beyond aviation, and a hands-on case for our trainees.
We help aerospace and defence teams answer design questions quickly and build their own in-house capability, from small UAVs to vehicles that fly at many times the speed of sound.
Force and moment data across speed, angle and configuration for flight dynamics and control teams.
Ice shapes, performance loss and ice-protection sizing in support of certification.
Rotor, propeller and airframe noise for quieter UAVs and cabins.
Shock structure, surface heating and thermal protection for supersonic and hypersonic vehicles.
Moving-body simulation of releases and stage separation, with clearance checks.
Flight-path driven simulation linking aerodynamics, structure and power for whole-mission trades.
Different speeds need different physics. We pick the right model for each flight regime, and the right tool to run it.
Strong shocks, very high surface heating and hot-gas chemistry. At high altitude, thin-air effects.
Density-based CFD with reacting gas; DSMC where the air is too thin for continuum methods.

We take on demanding simulation problems for industry and academia, and teach teams to run them in-house. From a single component to the whole system, and from design to digital twin.
