Overview

Aircraft design is where mission intent becomes an aircraft. Kesari develops the configuration, sizing and architecture that define what the aircraft is before the detail is committed.

We support both Kesari-led programmes and specialist assignments for customers who need experienced aircraft-design engineering alongside their own teams.

What we support

Conceptual and preliminary design, configuration trade studies and aircraft-level architecture, for new platforms and for improvements to existing designs.

Engineering scope

Conceptual and preliminary design
Configuration development and trade studies
Sizing and mass/CG
Wing loading and thrust loading
Aerodynamic layout
Aircraft architecture and arrangement
Requirements and interface definition
Design-driver and sensitivity studies

Typical inputs

Mission and performance targets
Payload and volume constraints
Existing design data (for support work)
Programme and certification context

Typical deliverables

Configuration baseline and rationale
Sizing and loading budgets
Aircraft-level requirements and interfaces
Trade-study results and recommendations
Design definition for detailed engineering

Where it fits in aircraft development

Aircraft design sits upstream of every discipline — it establishes the baseline that aerodynamics, structures, stability & control and manufacturing engineering refine and substantiate through the development process.

Why Kesari

On Kesari-led programmes we hold aircraft-level technical leadership, engineering responsibility and integration; on customer programmes we work within your Design Authority and governance framework.
