Abbott Aerospace UK.

Abbott Aerospace UK is an aerospace engineering consultancy in the United Kingdom. It helps companies design, modify, certify and fly aircraft, from a clean sheet start to in-service support. The company was founded in Ontario, Canada, in 2008.

It began by helping modification programmes and aircraft start-ups with composite structures. As it grew, it added new skills. It now covers composite and metallic structures, mechanical systems, landing gear and loads engineering. Its work runs from the first configuration through to certification management.

The team works on a wide range of aircraft. These run from kit aircraft up to Part 25 commercial aircraft. It also has experience with unusual platforms such as powered parachutes, wing in ground effect vehicles, supersonic transport aircraft and semi dirigible flying wings.

The company says its goal is to reduce technical and financial risk for aerospace clients. It trains and mentors client engineering teams. It also helps clients build internal methods, processes and whole engineering systems that support type certification, production certification and a safe, economical aircraft.

Abbott Aerospace also runs a free online Technical Library. The library holds technical papers and reports, Microsoft Excel analysis spreadsheets and add-ins, market information and analysis tools. It lists 17,005 documents and more than 3.5 million total downloads. The company reports more than 750,000 downloads in 2018 alone.

The library depends on donations from users for upkeep and upgrades. The company also publishes news and opinion posts on engineering and the aviation industry, and a monthly newsletter that shares company news, industry updates and new library material.
