About Aerocompany Sturm
Aerocompany Sturm is an aerospace engineering firm based in Dörrebach (Rhineland-Palatinate). The company offers engineering and consulting services for the complete aircraft, including systems and components – from ultralight aircraft under Part 103 and CS-23/25 aircraft to helicopters under Part 29. Its services cover concept, design, development, documentation, flight testing, certification (EASA, FAA, ICAO), production ramp-up, as well as reverse engineering and restoration support for classic and warbird projects. Additional offerings include flight test equipment (e.g. pitot-static calibration tubes, ballast units, spin and drag chutes, flutter exciters), engine cooling and cowl design, smoke systems, UAV design with sensor equipment, and component qualification to DO-160, DO-178 and DO-313. In materials and construction methods, the company has experience with metal, fibre-reinforced composites (glass, Kevlar, carbon), tube-and-fabric construction, wood, and combinations thereof. The company also supports aviation projects with QM systems (EN 9100), auditing, weight reduction and electric/hybrid aircraft concepts.
