OPTIMAL AIRCRAFT DESIGN

Who we are

OAD is specialized in the conceptual-preliminary design of aeronautical applications/software. OAD has developed a dedicated software to perform all the stages of the conceptual-preliminary design process of an airplane (from the UAV to the Airliner). This software is sold to aeronautical companies, to universities and to individuals worldwide. OAD has already taken part to the design of different airplanes, from radio controlled UAV to solar airplanes and light airplanes.

ADDED VALUE

OAD is specialized in the conceptual design of aeronautical applications. We have developed our own models and software to perform these tasks with a very high accuracy, demonstrated by a large number of validations published in technical reports. OAD works in a close relationship with famous universities and research institutes in Belgium, so in case of necessity, we have access to their equipment (wind tunnel, high-performance computers…).

RANGE OF PRODUCTS

ADS (Aircraft Design Software), since 1997, different versions were published, mainly driven by the costumer’s special needs (solar airplane, turbojet/turbofan powerplant, unconventional configurations, airliners…)

TMF-Reports (Technical, Marketing & Financial) for different projects: High Altitude Pseudo satellite (HAPS), Solar UAV for maritime surveillance, Electric airplane for breaking record, Towplane, Motorglider, Unconventional airplanes.

MAIN REFERENCES

We have more than 15-Years of experience in the field of software development. And we also use the software in the frame of our own projects. The most famous customers are Airbus, Comac for the industrial side, and the MIT for the academic side. All the Belgian universities use the software to train students.
