Dassault
Systèmes (Euronext Paris:
#13065, DSY.PA) today announced that Vertical Aerospace, a UK-based aviation industry innovator aiming
to revolutionize how people fly by making air travel personal, on demand and
carbon-free, is using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud to develop their
third all-electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
Vertical Aerospace will use the “Reinvent
the Sky” industry solution experience based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud to manage the complex
development of the eVTOL aircraft prototype by its rapidly growing team of 100
engineers and technical experts, even when working remotely. The
3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud unifies design, engineering, testing and
manufacturing disciplines across the enterprise in one collaborative digital
environment to meet needs ranging from requirements through to end design and
quality.
“At Vertical Aerospace we
were fortunate to have moved onto the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on cloud before we
were remote working,” said Owen Thompson Cheel, Flight Systems IPT Lead,
Vertical Aerospace. “The team has all they need to work from home and by
using the platform on cloud we have been able to continue working with
virtually no difference in performance. It’s an excellent case for working on
the cloud, and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform has allowed us to remain agile and
secure without loss of capability, effectively maintaining business
continuity.”
In 2019, Vertical Aerospace released flight footage
of their latest eVTOL aircraft. The Seraph can carry 250 kilograms – the
equivalent of three passengers – and can fly at speeds up to 80 kph (50
mph). The complexity of the third generation eVTOL required advanced
functionalities for electrical systems, change management, regulations and
compliance, as well as greater collaboration among teams. Following a
competitive evaluation, Vertical Aerospace selected the 3DEXPERIENCE platform
on the cloud to support its vision of decarbonizing air travel with proven
technology in the aviation, energy and automotive industries.
“Disruptive innovators like Vertical Aerospace are
using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud to advance their compelling vision
for sustainable mobility and invent new industries,” said David Ziegler, Vice
President, Aerospace & Defense Industry, Dassault Systèmes. “As businesses today must completely rethink the
way they work, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud offers the largest
portfolio of applications for product design and engineering from anywhere,
with a high level of performance and secure, efficient access to data.”
