DARcorporation can fabricate and build anything aerodynamic, including airplanes, wind turbines, flying cars, UAVs and toys!
We can design, analyze and build the structure, whether it is made out of composites, metal or a combination. We will do analysis for strength, stiffness, flutter and overall system dynamics. We will select materials and provide layup schedules for composites.
DAR engineers have worked with many unconventional designs including experimental airplanes, flying cars, UAVs, power generating windmill blades and even flying toys. Our designs are optimized for best performance based on results from structural analysis, CFD and wind tunnel testing.
Our 3,000 sq. ft. shop is equipped with tools and equipment specific to prototyping and manufacturing of aircraft and wind energy devices.
In addition to designing your state-of-the-art vehicle, we will be directly involved in every step of its fabrication and assembly, thereby assuring that "what we designed is what you fly". We can perform load, flutter and flight test to ensure that your aircraft does what we say it will do.
Please Contact Dr. Willem Anemaat for additional information.
DARcorporation & Samson Motorworks!
DARcorporation engineers had just three weeks to design, build and deliver this engineering cut-away mockup of the Samson Motorworks Switchblade to Oshkosh Wisconsin for Air Venture 2009!
The Switchblade mockup included a fully functional wing folding mechanism operated by electrical motors and controllers that determined the speed and direction of the folding wings. A working instrument panel controlled the wings and locking mechanisms.
Sam Bousfield, President of Samson Motorworks, reported great success at Oshkosh and announced first flight this time next year, with kit deliveries one year after first flight.
