About this technology

Overview

In design and analysis phases of advanced aircraft propulsion system and other engines, Teledyne makes extensive use of COSMIC's NASTRAN computer program. NASTRAN serves as an analytical tool for design of many engine components. Teledyne also uses two other COSMIC programs in studies of engine airflow. Use of three programs affords significant annual savings.
