Taking the time to understand your challenges in order to structure the most efficient projects
Drawing on decades of aerospace expertise to support the next generation of AAM aircraft.
Supporting the next generation of aerospace companies
Stirling Dynamics has been supporting major aerospace programmes for over 30 years and we are well positioned to help the next generation of aerospace companies deliver their AAM aircraft. In addition to our analysis capabilities, we are able to design complex electrical, electronic and mechanical equipment and provide cockpit controls for both development and flightworthy applications.
Providing a comprehensive design and analysis service from concept evaluation through to certification, in-line with SC-VTOL, CAA, EASA and FAA regulations.
Designing flightworthy components including complex mechanical systems and electo-mechanical actuators.
We have designed, configured and manufactured aerospace and marine inceptors for over 30 years, supplying to UK MoD, global OEMs, and research organisations including NASA.
Providing independent and impartial services on the design and integration of landing gear systems.
Within Electromechanical Design, Stirling Dynamics brings together a team with experience in mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering with the knowledge of CAD and stress analysis. We have a range of design skills to support both our own products and those of our customers, including the ability to reverse engineer existing designs. Our engineers also develop new designs to support many of our clients who then take these designs forward to manufacture.
The Systems and Safety capability group provides capability across a wide range of aerospace applications. Their expertise covers the full design life cycle; we have experience in new platform, system, and equipment developments as well as in continuous product development and system/equipment modifications. Our skills are used to support our customers, and our own product developments.
The Simulation and Control capability group operates across all major business units across the company, including training and simulation, aerospace and marine. We model all aspects of aerospace and marine systems and their environments, building integrated models that can be used to simulate all aspects of a system’s performance. Our understanding of system dynamics also allows us to develop and implement control laws for both aerospace and marine systems.
The Structural and Fluid Dynamics capability group cover the flight physics activities within the company. By building structural models of the airframe and landing gear and integrating an aerodynamic model onto the airframe, we can compute flight and grounds loads. Assurance that the operational envelope is clear of the instabilities of flutter and shimmy is established. Our strong aerodynamics capability, in both wing and rotary wing configurations, not only supports our loads activities but also allow us to provide design optimisation and performance assessments.
Whatever you are trying to achieve, from upgrading your cabin interior to designing a submarine autopilot, we apply the same level of care and attention to all our customer projects.

Do you have any questions about our aerospace
services? We have you covered.
Over the last 30+ years, Stirling Dynamics has worked on over 70 different aircraft types and has played key roles in many of the major aircraft development programmes. These programmes include the F-35 Lightning II, Airbus Single Aisle Family, Widebody Family, A350, A400M, Bombardier C-Series and Global 7000/8000, Leonardo helicopter fleet and many others.
Absolutely. Due to a very well-developed set of communication tools and reporting processes, the majority of our work can be carried out very successfully from our UK and German offices, regardless of client location. Additionally, engineers are deployed all around the world and have provided direct, on-site team augmentation and knowledge transfer.
Depending on customer requirements, we can do either or a blended hybrid of both. We pride ourselves on being extremely agile and flexible. The delivery of our services, from short term to more involved programmes, is achieved by employing a range of business models including on-site support, time-and-materials, and fixed-price packages.
Additionally, due to a very well-developed set of communication tools and reporting processes, the majority of our work can be carried out very successfully from our offices, regardless of client location.
Yes, Stirling Dynamics is an EASA Part 21J Design Organisation, approval number EASA.21J.807.
Stirling Dynamics is approved to the global aerospace quality standard AS9100 and a member of the ITAR Approved Community.
We are well versed using industry standard and specialist tools. Additionally, we have developed an independent suite of tools that enable us to calculate ground, flight, and component loads, and also specialist tools for flutter and shimmy analysis.
Yes, we can. In fact, reverse engineering is one of our specialisms. Some complex programmes require a wide range of these skills to ‘reverse-engineer’ an aircraft model from sparse data sets. We are often approached to support aircraft design and modification programmes where original OEM data is unavailable or prohibitively expensive. Our niche capabilities and experience enable us to recreate accurate data for a fraction of the cost of purchasing from the original OEM.
We do and are specialists in the field of model-based systems engineering. To learn more, read our latest whitepaper here.
