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

An airplane being assembled inside a large industrial hangar.

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

Close-up view of a complex, vintage aircraft engine with numerous metal pipes, valves, and components.

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
