In Good Company

7 of the world’s top 10 Aerospace and Defense companies turn to Knovel for trusted answers.

”Knovel saves me around 5 to 6 hours a week looking for reference material. It is fully traceable, always kept up to date and complies with QA Audit requirements.“– Engineer, BAE

”Legacy aircraft platforms require innovative solutions to provide continuing availability and upgrade to capability. Knovel provides a continuing source of candidate ideas and relevant information.“– Engineering Manager, Top Ten Aerospace Company

With projects ranging from developing designs for the next generation of a launch system to extending the life of legacy aircraft platforms, engineers working for Aerospace and Defense companies have their training and expertise repeatedly stretched by customer demands. New technologies and complex systems require ever more interdisciplinary know-how from teams that are lean and less specialized. Engineers need answers to technical questions they can trust.

Engineers at Raytheon, Boeing, Honeywell, Spirit Aerosystems, SpaceX, Gulstream and Northrop Grumman tap Knovel as they seek answers to technical questions.

READ A SOLUTION STORY. The Space orbiter is the orbital spacecraft of the Space Shuttle program. This space-plane carries crews and payloads, performs on-orbit operations, then re-enters the atmosphere with crews and any on-board payload to the Earth. In this solution story, we evaluate the natural frequency of a rectangular plate and make sure it is far outside the resonance zone.
