About OE

Optimal Engineering is a UK based company specializing in aerospace structures made in composite and advanced metallic materials. Although founded in 2008, the engineering core team have over 30 years experience in analysis and sizing of aircraft structures. Our services encompass:

  • Work-packages, where we take on full responsibility for the project at our own premises.
  • Project support, where we provide support to our client's engineering team at their own premises.
  • Production support at client's premises (or at our own premises if required).
  • Engineering resource, where we provide specialist stress engineers to work at client's premises in support of their projects.
