Case Study: Aura Aero achieves streamlined aircraft development with Arena Solutions and Onshape

How Aura Aero Streamlines Aircraft Development with Arena and Onshape

Aura Aero, an aircraft developer working on the Integral family, the ERA regional commuter aircraft, and a drone, needed a fully digital way to manage product data across design and manufacturing. The company wanted to eliminate paper, improve remote collaboration, and build a foundation for digital twins and connected aircraft programs. To support this, Aura Aero used Arena Solutions, along with Onshape CAD, as part of its cloud-native development stack.

Arena Solutions implemented Arena by PTC as the central PLM platform to organize, track, and synchronize critical product data throughout the aircraft lifecycle, tightly integrated with Onshape for CAD collaboration. This helped Aura Aero streamline workflows, share information faster across teams, and support a fully digital certification process for its first aircraft. The company reports greater efficiency, easier collaboration from anywhere, and a stronger digital foundation for future aircraft and services.
