Design for Manufacture
Explore how experienced design engineering helps turn complex aircraft modifications into practical, manufacturable and certifiable solutions.
Engineering Confidence from Day One
Certification shouldn’t just be a signature at the end. It should build in confidence and engineering excellence from the start. “One of the biggest misconceptions is that a CVE simply reviews paperwork or signs off compliance. In reality successful compliance begins much earlier”Nick Howarth, Structural Engineer Certification is the outcome. But identifying a robust and
Beyond the headlines: Three takeaways from Farnborough 2026
The aircraft may have grabbed the headlines, but the conversations told a different story This year’s Farnborough International Airshow (FIA26) felt different. Amid a change of prime minster and the arrival of a new defence secretary, there were of course aircraft launches, major announcements and plenty of discussion around investment in UK aerospace, to the

Cross-Sector Expertise
Aerospace might be one of the most misleading sector descriptors. Often treated as a single sector, in reality it spans an extraordinary range of technologies, platforms and challenges. For a company like Cascade Engineering, simply saying one sector we work in is “aerospace” doesn’t fully capture that diversity (our aerospace expertise here). From commercial airliners
As Defence Goes Global, Can UK SMEs Keep Their Edge?
An article by Ben Barrass recently posted on LinkedIn: What should we take from the current momentum behind international defence alliances focused on developing the next generation of military capability? While there is clear reassurance in the scale, security and shared investment that multinational programmes bring, alongside the uplift in budgets, capability and collective expertise,

From Stratospheric Concept to Certified Reality: Where Consultancy Delivers Outsized Value
High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) are rapidly redefining what persistent communications and ultra-long-endurance flight can achieve. Operating above weather and commercial air traffic but far below satellites, stratospheric aircraft offer transformative coverage and flexibility at a fraction of orbital costs. Among the most advanced programmes in this field are AALTO’s Zephyr and the World Mobile Stratospheric
Conformity Built In: The Cascade Advantage
Why choosing a partner with the expertise to accept authority and accountability for delivery saves you time, reduces risk, and helps you exceed your customer’s expectation. Finding the right delivery partner for your complex structural engineering project depends on a number of factors. Securing a partner with the relevant skills and experience, who can help
Why assured certification takes only one minute of action (but 59 mins of planning)
Achieving regulatory approval is the end goal, without which the project has failed. And yet, this end goal should define the starting point for complex projects where dependable delivery and timely execution are the ultimate success factors.

The Past Informs the Future
The utilisation of Cold War aircraft and vehicles originally designed over four decades ago and now being deployed in a modern day conflict has brought a renewed focus on the need for military technology to keep one foot firmly in the future while designing for the present.
