Aerospace engineering specialist Airframe Designs has doubled its operational capacity with the expansion of its headquarters and services for customers across the aviation, defence, and space sectors.

The company has significantly increased its capabilities in additive manufacturing, design, analysis, and 3D scanning through further investment in space and technology at its facility in Blackpool.

The extra space and investment in technology means we are able to offer increased capacity to our customers, including our expanding additive manufacturing services, said Jerrod Hartley, CEO of Airframe Designs. There is also more room for clean and extraction processes as well as more space for the stress and design teams and our advanced manufacturing processes.

Alongside the physical expansion, Airframe Designs is growing its workforce and investing in future talent, with six apprentices supporting its experienced team of engineers. Our teams work closely together and span an age range of five decades with skills in design, analysis, certification and manufacturing, Hartley added.

The upgraded headquarters now features dedicated display areas to showcase products, additional meeting rooms, and breakout spaces for collaboration.

Airframe Designs has built a reputation for producing highly complex components for some of the world s largest aerospace and defence organisations. Recent projects include integrating new systems into heavy-lift drone platforms, conceptual design of uncrewed air systems, test rigs and tooling for electric vehicle propulsion systems, and the design and analysis of operator consoles for special mission aircraft.
