Structural Battery Packs

Battery Pack Design Services​

We specialize in designing structural battery pack configurations tailored for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications. Our solutions integrate cutting-edge features such as integral cooling systems, robust environmental protection measures, and enhanced capabilities in shock, vibration, and crashworthiness. We leverage our expertise in engineering and materials science to deliver innovative designs that optimize performance across diverse sectors.

We work collaboratively with other Re:Build Manufacturing companies. Together, we have expertise in battery systems design, battery pack product engineering, battery manufacturing process automation, materials handling, modeling and simulation, and battery management system (BMS) development.

Landing Gear Development

We design custom aircraft landing gear for prototype and certified aircraft. With expertise in cantilevered beam, vertical strut, trailing link gear configurations, custom oleo-pneumatic sizing, custom tuning software, and in-house testing capabilities, Re:Build Answer Engineering is your one-stop shop for aircraft landing gear design, build, test, and certification.

Landing Gear Testing

Re:Build Answer Engineering offers custom aircraft landing gear testing services for landing weights up to 10,000 pounds. Testing services include swing arm style drop rigs, easily modifiable impact energy, wheel spin-up to 145 knots, data acquisition, test report generation, nose gear shimmy testing to 90 knots, and nose gear steering force measurements.

Testing

We offer customizable drop rigs allowing unique gear interfaces to be accommodated and a quickly modifiable drop interface allowing several impact energies to be tested in short time frames.

Instrumentation

We monitor strain, pressure, displacement, velocity, acceleration, and energy absorption throughout the stroke of the impact event.

Report Generation

We provide custom report generation utilizing instrumentation data tailored to customer requirements.

Tailored Services

We are uniquely capable of accommodating custom gear interfaces and gear intricacies.

Aeroelastic Analysis Services

From classic single-wing flutter analysis to full aircraft with control surfaces and rotors to the behavior of rotor blades in transition flight, Re:Build Answer Engineering can help derisk programs by identifying aeroelastic design constraints for a flight profile accompanied with wing, rotor, and boom stiffnesses. We are uniquely capable of assessing the aeroelastic stability of multiple rotors attached to boom structures with VTOL and transition flight profiles.

Wings

We will provide classic flutter analysis, including control surfaces.

Rotors

We will capture the behavior of rotors during transitional flight phases (vertical to horizontal flight transition).

Rotors and Booms

The coupled dynamics of rotors and booms lead to unique design challenges for today’s emerging VTOL vehicles. Re:Build Answer Engineering can assess the impact of rotors connected to wings via boom structures.

Rotor Blade Design

Beyond assessing configurations for aeroelastic stability, we can design the aerodynamic structure of rotor blades to work with your unique mission profile.

Tailored Custom Rotor Blade Design Services

Re:Build Answer Engineering has developed custom workflows using aerodynamics and multi-body dynamics to develop custom rotor blade solutions allowing blades to be optimized for aerodynamic performance, weight, and mission profiles.
