Design for Manufacture
Explore how experienced design engineering helps turn complex aircraft modifications into practical, manufacturable and certifiable solutions.
Design & Certification
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
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
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.

From field to flight: The role of sustainable composites
Composites in the context of Net Zero Across all industries, businesses are working out how to get to Net Zero – or a carbon neutral position. In many cases, this requires a complete rethink about everything the business does – from supplier management to sourcing sustainable materials. The materials issue is a significant one. How

Delivering complex projects for QinetiQ
Our work on PC-12 platform projects for QinetiQ GmbH led to us becoming appointed as a Structural Compliance Verification Engineer for the company’s internal projects. Project 1: Reworking PC-12 platform to include an equipment bay The Pilatus PC-12 is one of the world’s leading single-pilot business aircraft. It also affords operators the ability to cover
AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO DESIGN AND CERTIFICATION
In our industry, no project gets off the ground without completing certification. It’s how we prove that the design, engineering and construction are safe. So the certification process is necessarily one of the most important parts of the project – so the sooner programmes integrate design and certification processes the better. So, what are Design
