Aerospace Engineering Services — Part 23, STC/PMA & Manufacturing Support
NOS Manufacturing provides aerospace engineering services including Part 23 structural analysis, DER coordination, STC/PMA data packages, legacy component reconstruction, CNC machining, and dimensional metrology. Everett, WA.
Aerospace Challenges We Solve
Aerospace clients engage us when facing:
Legacy or obsolete components with missing documentation — parts that need to be reconstructed digitally before production can continue
Structural uncertainty prior to STC, PMA, or DER review — designs that need validated load analysis and substantiation before FAA submission
Performance, airflow, or thermal issues identified late in development — when changes are costly but required for certification
Manufacturing readiness gaps designs that aren't producible as-drawn, or tooling that doesn't exist yet
Dimensional conformance and GD&T verification part-to-CAD deviation analysis and inspection reporting before assembly or delivery
Prime contractor coordination when you need a single point of accountability managing aerospace part numbers, supplier qualification, and QMS documentation from PO through first article
How we engage
Our aerospace work is grounded in accuracy, traceability, and practical producibility:
Part 23 structural analysis — static load analysis, material substantiation, and margin of safety calculations for metallic airframe components in support of STC and PMA submissions
Engineering data package development — drawings, analysis reports, and conformity documentation prepared for DER review and FAA acceptance
DER coordination — technical support and data preparation for designated engineering representative review across structures disciplines
Structural FEA — static loads, fatigue life, and impact analysis for brackets, enclosures, fittings, and structural components
Thermal and CFD analysis — avionics enclosures, ducting, and airflow-sensitive systems
Reverse engineering of legacy airframe components — titanium, steel, and aluminum parts with no surviving drawings, reconstructed to production-ready CAD
Digital metrology and GD&T inspection — part-to-CAD deviation analysis and conformance reporting to 0.002" accuracy
Additive manufacturing — PPS-CF (UL-94 V-0 flame rated) for interior brackets, enclosures, and structural components
Prime contractor management — end-to-end coordination of aerospace part numbers from purchase order through first article and delivery, with AS9100D-certified partner shop integration and full QMS documentation
