Achieving Helicopter Vibration Reduction Through Improved Interactional Aerodynamic Modeling

2019 is shaping up as a critical year for regulatory developments affecting operators of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). In the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, Congress directed the FAA to work faster on setting UAS design standards and opening the airspace to commercial package delivery. Congress also chartered new reports on state and local control of low level airspace and the need for federal privacy laws.

HyperMesh enables Aerospace engineers to build models coherently from concept models to global loads models and then to detailed FE models (GFEM to DFEM) based on a common CAE Master Model Organization. The structure can be shared easily with PLM, PDM or CAD systems. The master model approach allows for individual work groups to work on sub-assemblies. These can later be merged into the global master model. Configuration management can be used to derive model variants from the same model.

Thank you very much to all those who joined us at our Open Day at our world class Innovation Centre in Gloucestershire, where leading figures in the aerospace industry illustrated the key trends and innovative technologies that are transforming aerospace manufacturing. The Open Day lead discussions on the direction that the aerospace industry is taking, and what is expected of the supply chain in order to fulfil these ever changing requirements in a buoyant and growing sector. Presentations during the day included A key note address from Trevor Higgs, Vice President, Head of Engineering, UK at Airbus, on its outlook and expectations . Presentations from GKN, Rolls-Royce and Sandvik Coromant focussed on how they are addressing current manufacturing challenges, along with real life best practice. Paul Maxted, Director of Industrial Metrology Applications at Renishaw presented on our innovative technologies including additive manufacturing and metrology solutions that will help suppliers meet industry expectations.

Drone adoption is skyrocketing. Companies around the world now deploy drones at scale to solve the biggest challenges facing agriculture, construction, and insurance. And DroneDeploy users have already collected more than 30 million acres of drone data.But what’s next as drone hardware, software, and regulations evolve? And how will drone technology adapt to manage the influx of millions of drones and the data they create? Join DroneDeploy's co-founders Jono Millin and Nicholas Pilkington, as they explore the future of commercial UAVs in the age of automation, and take a look at the practical applications of computer vision, machine learning, and flight automation in 2018 and beyond.
