Engineering consultancy Frazer-Nash has been offering their
services to support Bombardier Aerospace in the modelling of the
CSeries* aircraft program. Bombardier is developing the all-new
CSeries family of aircraft to serve the 100- to 149-seat market
segment.
Frazer-Nash's work will focus on completing studies that look at
the scenario of ditching. The company has already validated its
advanced modelling codes.
Commenting on the announcement, Glyn Norris, Business Manager at
Frazer-Nash, said: "We are proud to be providing Bombardier with
the expertise we have developed to model ditching. We have strong
technical expertise in this field and have successfully
demonstrated to our client that through applying Computational
Fluid Dynamics and other numerical codes, ditching can be reliably
predicted. This allows Bombardier to optimize, based on various
design iterations, the number of physical tests to be
conducted.
"Ditching represents just one scenario that our advanced suite
of software can reliably model. Frazer-Nash has proven experience
in modelling many aspects of an aircraft, including aerodynamics,
landing gear, as well as flight and ground loads, all of which can
be used by aerospace companies to provide assurance at any stage of
the design process."
