Independent engineering and certification support for rotary-wing programs under EASA CS-27 and CS-29.
Rotorcraft development demands an exceptional level of integration between propulsion, flight-control, and structural systems. Under EASA CS-27 and CS-29, manufacturers must demonstrate that all critical systems achieve the required levels of safety, reliability, and continued airworthiness — often while introducing new technologies such as hybrid propulsion, advanced automation, and digital avionics. IDA supports rotorcraft OEMs and system suppliers as an independent engineering partner, providing tailored expertise in Safety & Reliability throughout the development and certification process.
Through Safety & Reliability Engineering, we apply ARP-4761A methods to verify that propulsion and flight-control architectures meet CS-27/29 safety objectives. We conduct Functional Hazard Assessments (FHA), System Safety Assessments (SSA), and Common Cause Analyses (CCA) to demonstrate that all failure conditions are mitigated through redundancy, separation, and fail-safe design principles.
