Over 200 Engineering Consultants at your Desktop…

Our engineers collaborate with unbiased, international committees comprised of industry, government and academic experts. Only after a rigorous review process and unanimous validation by the committee does a design methodology become part of ESDU.

Available via the Internet, ESDU contains validated engineering methods, empirical and theoretical data, equations, worked examples, and related software. These are presented in over 1,250 design guides with supporting software and are the result of more than 60 years experience of providing engineers with information, data and techniques for fundamental design and analysis on topics including:

Aerodynamics of controls, flaps and leading-edge devices
Heat pipe design and performance prediction
Methods of calculating the pressure distribution and loading on aerofoils and wings in high subsonic flow
Principles and data for designing against metal fatigue
Strength analysis of lightweight structures such as those used in aerospace
… and much more!!
