Our aerospace expertise includes both structural and aerodynamic analysis, optimization and design. Our engineers have developed gas turbine heat signature suppression and low-observable systems, high temperature composite exhaust systems, rotor blade structural and aerodynamic models, and a comprehensive architecture for managing VTOL flight using distributed electric propulsion.

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) present a unique set of challenges due primarily to limited payload capacity and need for autonomy. To meet these challenges, we have developed small VTOL UAS platforms, hybrid powertrain technologies, embedded flight data acquisition systems, and UAS security software capable of operating within the autopilot system onboard most UAS.

With increasing demand for fuel economy and trends toward extracting more power from smaller displacement engines, our engineers have developed technologies for recovering energy from the engine exhaust stream. We have experience modeling the high temperatures and reacting flows found in internal combustion engines as well as the high power electrical components found in modern hybrid and electric cars.

Modern manufacturing demands precise and predictable output with minimal waste. To this end, we have developed process enhancing technologies for expanding production capability with minimal invested capital. Also, we have developed and prototyped custom experimental equipment, process metrology, as well as inspection tools and software.

Reducing weight increases performance, but creates additional stress on marine structural components.  High Strain Dynamics engineers use standard and custom-designed testing procedures to help clients test and improve existing components and develop new prototypes.

The medical field is embracing composites for its lightweight, high strength, and radiolucent properties.  High Strain Dynamics helps clients in the medical field push the boundaries of composites through material testing and selection and design and engineering assistance.

From lacrosse to skiing to camping and fishing, our experience with composite manufacturing processes and analysis has consistently yielded superior products. Our expertise includes both in-autoclave and out-of-autoclave prepreg processes as well as wet-layup and resin-transfer-molding for custom product development. Our ongoing integration of nano-composites into our portfolio provides outstanding performance and a competitive edge.
