- What We Do -
AVIATION / AERONAUTICS
Aeronautics research and testing across the industry including Wind Tunnel Models, Aircraft Safety, Airborne Instrumentation, and More
Core Competencies in Aeronautics
Millennium is engineering expertise in aeronautical research including aircraft control, predicting an aircraft’s future energy state, determining auto-flight configuration based on sensor inputs, aircraft dynamics, and knowledge of the underlying automation. We develop software to integrate algorithms into flight simulators and incorporate the trajectory predictions into current aircraft displays. Millennium is also providing mechanical engineering expertise to aeronautical sensor programs where we are helping to build, modify, and operate airborne instrumentation for earth science research, including hyperspectral instruments. Millennium also provides subject matter expertise in the design and development of highly precise and sophisticated wind tunnel models for testing at subsonic, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic speeds.
