Summary
Focuses on the design, analysis, and certification of aircraft and spacecraft structures and aerodynamic systems — including fuselage and wing structural analysis, computational fluid dynamics for airflow modeling, stress testing of components, and integration of subsystems across disciplines. Distinct from propulsion-specific focuses (engine and powerplant design) and avionics/controls focuses; this focus owns airframe, aerodynamics, structural stress, and systems-level certification work.
