Working with AFD

Case Studies

“AFD was engaged from start to finish in our Taipan Gun Mount programme, providing reliable specialist support in the Structures topic. During both the prototype and serial production phases, AFD supported both NOVA in solving complex strength issues, preparing the ground for a successful certification campaign. AFD offer a Turn-Key Structures solution for EASA DOAs by providing a team of experienced Stress Engineers backed up by independent Compliance Verification Engineers (CVEs).”

Gareth Dyer - Managing Director, Nova Systems

“AFD provided structural specialists with experience in the application of the empirical formula for the assessment of bird impact forces. Extensive dialogue between AFD, Cobham, STC21, and the authorities (EASA and FAA) resulted in agreement on the Certification Plan and proposed Means of Compliance, leading to a successful STC application.”

Alastair Erskine - Head of Structures, STC21

“AFD was selected owing to their product knowledge and track record in delivering similar work to a high standard. AFD has always delivered on schedule and offer a competitive pricing model.”

Gary Wells - Chief Stress Engineer, Héroux-Devtek
