Latest Insights

View the latest insights from KDC Projects on industry trends, news and expertise.

  • Aerospace engineering is a fairly competitive environment, particularly if you want to work for a major name in the industry. One route into the sector is via an apprenticeship, as opposed to completing a university degree.

    If you’re unsure which would be most suitable for you, read on to find out more about what an apprenticeship involves and how it can help add value to the aerospace industry.

  • We’ve previously discussed the potential overhaul hydrogen fuel technology could bring to the aerospace market. This growing interest has, unsurprisingly, led to a boom in companies developing solutions for more sustainable aviation.

    To understand the market’s current position, let’s look at some of the major players currently working on hydrogen fuel solutions for aerospace.

  • The introduction of nuclear power into maritime vessels was a major step. Although most of the industry’s focus is on submarines, nuclear reactors have benefitted ships too.

    Nuclear power’s history in the maritime sector isn’t a particularly long one, but the changes it’s brought about in this short period have been massive.

Testimonials

See what our clients have to say about KDC Projects.

KDC Projects responded rapidly to our need and brought a level of knowledge and experience to the project, which ensured our design met the static and fatigue stress requirements of the end customer platform and allowed us to optimise the mass and design of our actuator.

They were always at the end of the phone and were happy to guide us through the process and analysis results. Their dedication to delivery allowed us to go through CDR and into manufacturing against a tight customer schedule.

We were delighted to have discovered KDC Projects and will use their engineering services again.
