Learjet 85 Joint Definition & Detail Design Phase Support

OUR SOLUTION

In order to support Bombardeer with the Design Phase Support for the Learjet 85, Morson Projects sourced a team in Montreal to support Wing and Fuselage design and stress in November 2008. We then:

• Supported the Lear 85 Wing and Fuselage concept design phase from an office in Montreal.
• From May 2009, Morson Projects migrated some of the team back to UK to continue with work package there, leaving a small liaison team in Montreal.
• In Dec 2009, we won the Detail Definition Phase contract for Fuselage, Nose Cone, Doors, Horizontal Stabilizer, Rudder. Ailerons, Winglets and Spoilers.

As an overview:

• Over 80% of the Learjet 85 structure is composite and Morson Projects use the state-of the-art “FiberSIM” modelling tool to produce design and manufacturing models.
• All design carried out using Catia v5 & FibreSIM.
• Design uses innovative manufacturing processes.
• Approach taken: JDP FEM data and JDP Catia geometry input to FiberSIM to produce composite manufacturing models.
• “Proof of Concept” utilised from design through to manufacture to reduce programme technical risks.
• The Design Centre Integration Team has a dedicated high definition IT link to Bombardier teams in Montreal and Wichita and has full ‘Live’ Enovia data-base access.
• Over 150 Aerospace Engineers were engaged on project at peak, 104 Design Engineers and 51 Stress Engineers.
• In Jan 2010, the Morson Projects in-house team increased from 30 to 100 within 6 weeks.
