DesignIntegrated design and analysis capability
Atkins’ aerospace design capabilities draw together associated engineering disciplines including linear and non-linear structural analysis, fluid modelling vibration analysis, manufacturing engineering, supply chain management, instrumentation and commissioning.
Our capability• Design support through the complete product life-cycle• Requirements capture and analysis• Design verification and validation support• Concept and detailed design• Trade study management• Digital mock-up and assembly• Design substantiation• Risk management• Certification• Testing and test support• Configuration management• Through life design improvement programmes including weight
and cost reduction.
Our experience• Wing concept and preliminary design on multiple programmes• Design of metallic and composite structures• Support FACC in design of A350XWB wingtip and winglet,
including composite components• Design of fixed leading and trailing edge, front and rear spars and
main landing gear support structure for A320 new engine option, development and flight standard
• Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 HP compressor• Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 front bearing housing-tooling for
manufacture• Inertia and linear friction welding – tooling design, manufacture
and commissioning• Rolls-Royce Naval Marine – adaptation of Trent 800 for marine use.
Atkins has extensive experience in the use of design programmes such as CATIA on metallic and composite structures.
Our experience at a glanceCase study – A380 FlapsSince the end of 2004 Atkins has been working on the Airbus A380 programme. Our team’s work started on the stress certification of the inboard flap of the A380 passenger version.
Subsequently, during the years 2005–2006, Atkins worked on the sizing of the freighter version of the A380, followed by the inboard flap redesign of the passenger version, which began in 2007.
For these projects Atkins’ contribution covered:
• Project management• Design (CATIA v4)• Structural analysis (FEM and FEA)• Fatigue and damage tolerance analysis• Certification reports/airworthiness• Certification test support.
The project demonstrates Atkins’ capability in supporting aircraft design throughout the project life cycle, and the trust placed in Atkins by our clients to manage their key design projects.
Atkins provided design expertise on the A380 inboard flap.
