AeroDerivate

AeroDerivate is an aerospace engineering firm that specializes in the design, analysis, and integration of derivative systems and components for aircraft and propulsion programs. In flight dynamics, derivatives quantify how forces and moments respond to changes in variables such as angle of attack, sideslip, and control surface deflections. AeroDerivate develops, validates, and implements these derivatives to improve handling, stability, performance, and certification readiness.

Founded in the early 2010s by engineers with backgrounds in aerodynamics, control theory, and systems engineering, AeroDerivate has grown through collaborations with research institutions and with commercial aerospace manufacturers. The company maintains a portfolio of engineering services and specialized software tools.

Core offerings include development of flight-dynamic derivatives, control-system integration, optimization of performance models, and support for wind tunnel and CFD analyses. The firm provides flight-test planning, data processing, model validation, and certification support, as well as modeling tools used in system-level design and simulation environments.

Technology and methods combine high-fidelity simulations, system identification from flight-test data, and optimization under multi-disciplinary constraints. The organization emphasizes traceability, safety, and compliance with applicable industry standards and regulatory guidelines throughout the development lifecycle.

Clients include civil airlines, regional carriers, unmanned aerial systems developers, and research programs. By supplying specialized derivatives and associated analysis, AeroDerivate aims to reduce development risk, accelerate certification processes, and enable more robust aircraft performance across programs.
