Development of aerospace products is a true collaborative endeavor which requires many disciplines to be successful. Structural stress and design is a crucial component of this process. TLG’s in-house Stress and Design capability complements our Loads, Flutter and Aero-performance groups. When working as an integrated team, the Stress and Design disciplines enable TLG to conduct a complete load loop design cycle. This concurrent team approach can provide shorter development schedules and higher levels of optimization with lower development risk, all with direct DER involvement.
TLG recognizes that many Customers have their own internal design department. In these cases, TLG provides stress and design resources as an off-site extension to your existing capabilities. This is done to provide efficient coordination of development issues. You can utilize our Stress and Design staff to focus on secondary structure or systems development. Meanwhile, your in-house team stays focused on their primary areas of expertise. Either way, TLG Stress and Design capabilities help assure your product meets all performance, schedule, and cost objectives.
