Provided analytical support to the development and certification of the AW169 aircraft focusing on birdstrike simulation and fatigue test evaluation.For the birdstrike evaluation I was responsible for the management of the bird strike testing on critical rotor system components and also for the discussion and submission of data required for civil certification.The fatigue analysis covered several components from loads and test rig specification, to test support and finally to fatigue life evaluation and reporting.For the AW169 I was involved in the collation of evidence of compliance for submission to EASA which was cataloged through the use of DOORS software.Post AW169 I am involved in new composite blade design and evaluation, focusing on introducing updated simulation techniques into the design process with the aim to reduce full-scale specimen testing.
