AVID LLC provides established dependable aircraft design software with a multidisciplinary base of expertise for any air-vehicle project. AVID LLC has experience with vehicles from the conceptual design stage to successful flight.

Our experience with flight dynamics, energy budget, and weight requirements allows us to assist in the creation of a realistic design with minimum modifications. Our team builds models with that are used in the simulation of ducted fans, traditional fixed wings, and hyrid vehicles.

AVID, in partnership with Honeywell, has assisted in the design of the first-ever deployed VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) ducted-fan micro air vehicle (MAV) as part of an accelerated DARPA project. AVID provided unique design expertise as well as comprehensive design and analysis tools. The company supplied aerodynamic performance analysis for the vehicle and designed many of the aerodynamic components including the fan, stators, and control vanes.
