ALTEN INDIA IN THE NEWS
Featured in The Times of India, ALTEN India’s
contributions to autonomous navigation across
aircraft, drones, and mobility platforms were
highlighted.
FEATURED WHITE PAPER
- Enhancing Aerospace Design Integration Through Structured Quality Checks
- Discover how Digital Mock-Up (DMU) quality checks improve design integrity, reduce rework, and accelerate the journey from design to manufacturing.
FEATURED CASE STUDIES
REAL WORLD IMPACT
Design Integrity Takeoff: Seamless DMU Quality Checks When a global aerospace tech supplier partnered with ALTEN India to embed structured Digital Mock‑Up (DMU) quality checks, the result was fewer integration errors, smoother design‑to‑manufacturing transitions and a sharper focus on design maturity across the lifecycle.
“Mandatory QC1 & QC2 checks ensured high. Quality deliverables before manufacturing, reducing integration errors and rework.”
FEATURED CASE STUDIES
COST OPTIMISED ENGINES:
ENGINEERING VALUE BEYOND DESIGN
A leading aero‑engine OEM engaged ALTEN to slash unit manufacturing costs without sacrificing safety or performance. Through a design‑led, agile, cross‑functional approach, more than 250
cost‑optimisation ideas were executed over 3+ years — turning engineering insight into real business impact.
“250+ cost optimization ideas executed over 3+ years across Civil Large Engine components.”
FEATURED CASE STUDIES
CLEAN PROPULSION INNOVATION: PIONEERING
HYDROGEN‑ELECTRIC FADEC SYSTEMS
ALTEN collaborated with a trail‑blazing hydrogen‑electric aircraft company to develop a DO‑254 certifiable FADEC/Inverter subsystem. The two‑lane architecture, full hardware redundancy and functional segregation
enabled compliance with the toughest safety standards while delivering rapid prototyping and readiness for electrified propulsion.
“DO.254 DAL.A certifiable design with full
documentation and artifacts provided.”
