Client Need
The client required an advanced wing prototype for a next-generation aircraft project. The wing needed to meet complex aerodynamic and structural requirements, with the ability to undergo various tests under different configurations. The prototype needed to be highly accurate, with precise tolerances to ensure it would pass extensive performance evaluations and contribute valuable data to the overall development process.
Our Approach
Design and Engineering
We collaborated closely with the client’s engineering team to finalize the design of the wing prototype. Using advanced CAD tools, we ensured the design incorporated all required specifications for performance, aerodynamics, and strength. The design also allowed for flexibility in configuration to support various testing conditions, making it adaptable to the client’s evolving requirements.
Advanced Machining
Our next step was manufacturing the prototype using advanced machining technologies. we utilized our Hedelius Tiltenta II Magnum 3600, to handle highly complex geometries with unmatched precision. Its 5-axis capabilities allow us to machine parts from virtually any angle, reducing the need for multiple setups and ensuring faster production without compromising accuracy. This machine’s high dynamic performance and rigid design enabled us to maintain extremely tight tolerances on both geometric features and structural components, ensuring every part was manufactured to meet the client’s exact specifications.
Inspection and Quality Control
Once the prototype was machined, we conducted thorough inspections using advanced measuring tools, ensuring the wing met all dimensional and structural standards. Each component was carefully checked for alignment and performance to ensure that the prototype met the highest standards of quality and reliability.
Outcome
The wing prototype is currently in production, and we’re on track to meet the client’s design specifications and performance goals. We’re leveraging advanced technologies throughout the design, machining, and inspection processes to ensure exceptional precision and quality at every step.
Once completed, the prototype will play a crucial role in the client’s testing and analysis, offering valuable insights that will guide the development of their next-generation aircraft. This project reflects our dedication to delivering high-precision aerospace components that meet even the most demanding standards.
