Start-ups in the Aeroespace sector are leading innovation in areas such as urban air mobility, UAVs for commercial or defence use, and new concepts for commercial aircraft: more competitive and sustainable. However, they all face the same challenge: transforming a promising design into a validated physical product.
In addition to the conceptual challenge, there are certification and industrial challenges to consider. The manufacture of aeronautical prototypes requires capabilities and qualified processes to produce flight components and highly specialised equipment, as well as compliance with technical requirements for certification.
In this context, having a technology partner that facilitates industrialisation and appropriate product certification makes all the difference.
From design to flight prototype
At FIDAMC, we work with national and international start-ups to develop flight prototypes, ranging from structural components to complete systems.
The aim of these projects is clear: to demonstrate the technical characteristics in flight under real-world conditions and to obtain the evidence required for product certification. To achieve this, it is necessary to:
- Adapt the design to composite manufacturing processes
- Manufacture and assemble the prototype to aerospace standards
- Ensure its structural integrity for flight testing
This type of development enables start-ups to move from theoretical validation to real-world validation, significantly accelerating their access to funding and the market.
Beyond the prototype
Prototyping is not an end in itself. It is the first step towards certification and industrialisation.
That is why the approach must be comprehensive:
- Certification-oriented design
- Manufacturing and assembly using scalable processes
- Tests that generate technical evidence
A partner designed for start-ups
Unlike large-scale industry, which is geared towards mass production, at FIDAMC we offer:
- Support throughout the design and technical definition process.
- Equipment available for rapid prototyping.
- Experience in aeronautical development
- Laboratory and certification capabilities
This enables us to support startups throughout the entire process, from the initial idea to the first flight.
