Case Study: Blue Spirit Aero develops hydrogen aircraft with Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform

Blue Spirit Aero: Hydrogen Aircraft

Blue Spirit Aero, a company dedicated to developing hydrogen-powered light aircraft, faced the challenge of designing and certifying a completely new type of aircraft from a clean sheet. They needed a comprehensive digital solution to manage the entire development process, from initial concept through to production and certification, ensuring full traceability and compliance with strict aviation regulations. They chose to partner with Dassault Systèmes and implemented the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud.

Dassault Systèmes provided a suite of applications on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, including CATIA for design, SIMULIA for simulation, and ENOVIA for collaborative project management. This enabled Blue Spirit Aero to create a detailed virtual twin of the aircraft, which accelerated development, allowed for rapid validation of designs, and provided the traceability needed for certification. As a result, the company completed the detailed 3D design and validation in just nine months and is confident in its path to certify its hydrogen aircraft before the end of the decade.
