Our solutions
Discover our cross-functional solutions covering every stage, from design to certification. Thanks to our on-site mobility capabilities, we ensure optimal production support and turnkey project management.
Conceptual design
We transform your ideas into concrete and achievable solutions. Whether you are looking to explore highly customized cabin design concepts, optimize user experience, or create bespoke aircraft cabin mock-ups, our team supports you at every stage.
Our approach is based on advanced visual design, user-centered. We place strong emphasis on human factors, ergonomic validation, and precise 3D modeling, in order to meet your specific requirements with a high level of customization.
Design
Discover our expertise in 2D/3D computer-aided design (CAD), enabling us to accurately model complex elements (mechanisms, system integration) and structural components (monuments). We perform analyses such as mechanical stress simulation, weight calculation, as well as materials and processes studies, to ensure the reliability and compliance of your products.
Our rigorous testing, including static tests, structural impact analyses, and flammability testing, ensures optimal performance. In addition, we ensure compliance with the latest passenger safety standards. With our rigorous management of your requirements and specifications, your project benefits from structured and optimal follow-up.
Integration
We are specialized in the seamless and functional integration of mechanical, electrical, water, and in-cabin entertainment systems, as well as monuments (galleys, lavatories, partitions) and cabinets. Each integration is designed to ensure full compatibility with the overall cabin environment, while optimizing comfort, ergonomics, and passenger experience.
Manufacture
Leveraging our expertise in composite materials, plastics, and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, as well as our R&D (Research and Development) center, we offer an integrated approach that ensures our clients benefit from comprehensive support, from design to the delivery of custom parts, in compliance with the most stringent quality and safety standards.
Specialized in VIP and VVIP aviation projects, our highly qualified team provides customized solutions combining mechanical design and prototype manufacturing, including 3D modeling and mechanical fastening, tailored to aerospace requirements.
With the utmost attention to detail and craftsmanship, our team delivers complex designs to meet the highest expectations in terms of quality, finishing, and luxury.
Certification
Leveraging our field experience and mastery of regulatory requirements, we support you in obtaining certifications from various authorities to ensure the regulatory compliance of your concepts and products.
In collaboration with regulatory authorities such as the FAA, EASA, and TCCA, we implement a comprehensive approach to obtain STCs (Supplemental Type Certificates) through to the issuance of FORM 1 certificates.
We manage the entire certification process to ensure full compliance of your parts, while meeting the most stringent quality and technical requirements of the industry.
Industrialization
We support the production ramp-up of your cabin equipment by ensuring optimal industrialization of your solutions. Our methods teams are involved in preparing and securing each stage leading to serial production and operational deployment.
Our methods teams also ensure precise product configuration to streamline production:
- Creation and modification of assembly instructions,
- Engineering change notices,
- Creation of visual aids,
- Change management.
They also provide production support by contributing to issue resolution and leading continuous improvement initiatives to optimize the manufacturing cycle.
