Engineering - Aerospace experts

Introduction

Aerospace engineering involves the design, development and manufacture of aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicles, satellites and ground support facilities.

Aerospace engineers are involved in the development of new technologies for use in aviation, defence systems and spacecraft technologies. They are experienced in the areas of aerodynamic fluid flow, structural design, navigation, robotics, and propulsion and combustion.

Typical tasks and responsibilities of an aerospace engineer may include:

• Designing, fabricating, modifying or testing aircraft or aerospace parts
  
• Developing design criteria for aerospace systems
  
• Conducting experimental and operational tests on aircraft models and prototypes
  
• Performing mathematical and computer analysis to evaluate the design according to the engineering requirements
  
• Creating reports and documentation such as handbooks and manuals for an aerospace system
  
• Leading or directing aerospace research and development programs
  

At the bottom of this profile are brief details of a number of the experts that Expert Experts represents. Call our office to discuss your requirements and to obtain a recommendation that suits your needs and budget.

Expertise in Action

Aerospace engineering experts may be required to provide expert opinion in various types of cases including:

• Lack of safety and quality standards in the aircraft or spacecraft
  
• Design flaws in the aerospace system
  
• Construction defects of the aircraft or spacecraft
  
• Mechanical failures
  
• Aircraft or spacecraft accidents
  
• Compliance issues with aviation codes and regulations
  
• Maintenance and testing issues
  

Sample Reports

For some fields of expertise we have some sample sections of de-identified reports. Please contact our office if you are interested in a sample.

Cost

The overall cost of expert opinion depends on the services required. Some of the key factors that affect the cost of advice include:

• The need for a view or inspection of a location
• The quantity of documentary material to be reviewed
• Whether there are reports of other experts to be reviewed and commented on in detail
• Whether there is a need for conferences with the expert either in person or by telephone/Skype
