How Does Stavatti Design/Develop/Certify Aircraft?
Stavatti performs the conceptual, detail and advanced design of all aircraft and aerospace vehicles in-house. To reduce engineering design times, Stavatti may contract portions of airframe engineering to qualified engineering support firms including Infotech, as well as other aircraft companies such as Lockheed Martin, Bombardier and Boeing. Validation of aircraft aerodynamic configurations may be performed at the Calspan Transonic Wind Tunnel, the University of Wichita Subsonic Wind Tunnel, NASA Langley, NASA Ames and NASA Glenn. In-flight simulation of Stavatti aircraft may be conducted at Calspan. Aircraft static fatigue and cycle testing will be at a qualified Stavatti structural test rig. Stavatti will perform the production and assembly of all prototype aircraft from systems and airframe structural components supplied by contracted ITMs. Stavatti will conduct flight testing for FAA Certification and Military Qualification purposes in-house employing resident or contracted FAA DER
