Company Profile

HybridAero Limited turns mission intent into flight vehicle designs. We combine first-principles requirements analysis, concept of operations development, and multi-disciplinary design optimisation (MDO) to help partners move from operational need to credible aircraft concepts faster. We are designers first, with experience spanning aerospace, defence and Formula One, and we rapidly navigate complex design spaces by leveraging both our own proprietary and industry-standard MDO toolchains. Our work to date has focused on high-speed, agile UAV platforms. From defining what a vehicle must achieve, to exploring the trades that shape its configuration, we help you reach better designs faster.

What industry says it wants:

• “Requirements from evidence not aspiration”
• “Higher fidelity analysis earlier in the design process”
• “Comparison of substantially different concepts”
• “A handover that isn’t thrown over the fence”

Our aproach delivers the industry ask and as a design partner we can help you:

• Derive requirements from a concept of operations (CONOPS)
• Conduct concept design studies, showing the sensitivity of the aircraft’s performance to requirements or design choices
• Conduct modification studies on existing platforms to increase performance
• Answer the “what ifs” you haven’t had time to explore
