Custom Cockpit Upgrades and Avionics Integration
FRAM's business partner Infinite Design Solutions Inc. has readily available computer aided engineering anthropometric models and libraries which help to provide sound solutions to crew station design development or existing crew station modifications. 

Human factor ergonomic solutions are in some cases not straight forward and various parameters and criteria as listed below can be analyzed in a quick effective manner to insure compatible cockpit management through efficient cognitive physical interface studies as follows:

Reach Envelopes
Vision Envelopes
Crash Envelopes
Design Eye Location
Seat Reference Point
Time and Motion Studies
Crew Resource Management
Crew Workload Reduction
Control/Display Configurations and Layouts

As we move forward with glass cockpits entering the general aviation markets with night vision goggles and heads up displays becoming more common use in commercial aviation the need for the most efficient compatible integrated hardware/software crew station configurations which reduces stress and minimizes pilot workload during crew station interface must remain aviations highest safety priority.

Custom Interiors and Airframe Modifications
Custom Aircraft Interiors for many applications require the same methodology during engineering development.  Interior attributes range from aesthetically pleasing and comfortably functional to ease of ingress and egress with the consideration of crash attenuation and emergency evacuation envelopes. 

FRAM's priority is making sure both our customers the aircraft owner and the FAA are satisfied with our final interior configuration that integrates aesthetics, comfort, functionality, safety and durability through out the life of the airframe.
FRAM develops custom interior applications for various sizes of Business Jet, Turbo Prop and Rotary Wing aircraft as follows:    

Standard Interiors 
Luxury Interiors
Commercial Interiors
Special Mission Interiors
Corporate Interiors

By utilizing CATIA 3D software for interior electronic mock-ups (i.e., EMU) during the preliminary and detail design phases helps the customer get a good understanding of the interior configuration simulated in a virtual reality before a mockup of a committed detailed interior configuration is constructed which allows changes in the direction of development before hardware is fabricated there by reducing non recurring cost over runs.

Rotary Wing Systems and Airframe Integration
Helicopter design engineers have to be multi-faceted when considering rotor system airframe integration.  The various non all inclusive criteria listed below has to be considered when developing a new rotor system or upgrading and modifying an existing one.

Aerodynamic Performance Criteria
Airfoil Selection and Rotor Blade Geometry
Pitching Moments vs Pitch Link Geometry
Number of Blades and Per Rev Vibration
Dynamic Loading and Dampening Analysis
Rigid Rotor, Semi-Rigid or Articulated
Dynamic Clearance Envelopes
Lead Lag and Coning Angles
Rotor Mast / Airframe Interface
Rotor Mast and Transmission Interface
Rotor System Rigging vs Handling Quality
Thermal Properties of Dynamic Assemblies
Operational Life of Components and MTBO
Maintainability, Reliability and Inspection

We could go on and on but you get the picture and for most of you who seek our help you know very well multiple disciplines are required to complete the engineering, fabrication, installation and testing of a new rotor system.

We at FRAM would most certainly enjoy supporting your quest for upgrading or developing a higher performance rotor system.
