DESIGN CAPABILITIES
LOUD Engineering has a proven reputation as an engineering ?Solutions? company for new aircraft systems and components. LOUD?s experience dates as far back as the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works very successful SR-71 Blackbird and U-2 programs. For over 30 years LOUD has designed Landing Gear Systems, Shock Struts, Nosewheel Steering Actuators, Steering Damping Systems, Valves, Regulators, Manifolds, and Ground Support Equipment for fixed wing and rotor aircraft for both military and commercial applications. LOUD design capabilities include specialized test equipment with automated data collection and plotting features.
As an engineering ?Solutions? company LOUD advocates early involvement and participation in the design process for new aircraft systems. The LOUD Engineering team can prepare concept proposals from customer provided initial design and performance criteria to assist in the budgeting and feasibility analysis process.
LOUD continues to demonstrate successful reverse engineering capabilities for upgrading of existing systems to improve reliability and reduce costs. Most recently LOUD has provided a reliability / value improved Nosewheel Steering Actuator for the F-16 aircraft as an upgrade for the current unit. In the area of Ground Equipment LOUD has designed a Shock Strut Service Unit that optimizes the operating characteristics of struts by an enhanced bleed & fill process. The Shock Strut Service Unit significantly reduces service time and extends gear maintenance intervals.
Our engineering team utilizes project management tools, solid modeling, and electronic file interchange so that we can effectively manage, communicate and deliver on time and on budget.
