Global aircraft manufacturer chooses j2

Leading aircraft manufacturer, Embraer, has chosen Cheshire-based j2 Aircraft Dynamics as a partner in its advanced aircraft design engineering activities.

The Brazilian OEM has adopted j2's Universal Tool-Kit software to enhance and accelerate the analytical and evaluation capabilities within its Conceptual and Preliminary Design team. The j2 Universal Tool-Kit is a fully networked design solution that has already been used with existing aircraft models. Embraer is initially using the j2 Universal Framework element of the Tool-Kit which has enabled it to add significant value to its existing design process.

“Once we knew that we could use our existing modelling code within the j2 Universal Tool-Kit software environment we began to see the significant benefit of using this very powerful analytical and evaluation modelling tool,” stated Embraer's Preliminary Design Team Manager, Decio Pullin. “The idea is to use only j2 Dynamics for the entire Flight Mechanics analysis. We intend also to install j2 in our Engineering Simulator as the main simulation software for this project.”

Paul Jenkins, senior vice-president, sales for j2 Aircraft Dynamics, added: “Winning the trust of Embraer and being able to demonstrate how our product can return value has been a very proud development for j2 Aircraft Dynamics. There is no doubt that a key factor in this success has been our ability to integrate existing trusted code and mature process into the j2 Universal environment and then open up the very powerful j2 analytical and visualisation capabilities as part of the design process. We look forward to the potential to expand the use of j2 within Embraer.”
