About

We provide technical support for aircraft development and modification projects, with a focus on structural design and systems integration. With 25+ years of experience in aerospace engineering, E-CADO Engineering supports OEMs and DOA partners by supplying detailed design data, drawings, and documentation – from concept to implementation. Our core competencies include primary and secondary structures, cabin and system interfaces and retrofit engineering. We deliver precise 2D/3D design solutions using CATIA V5 and SolidWorks, aligned with CS-25 and customer-specific processes. E-CADO develops implementation strategies with a strong focus on feasibility, weight, and cost. We work closely with internal engineering teams and support certification activities under EASA Part 21J – without acting as a DOA ourselves. Reliable, efficient, and tailored to complex project environments. If you’re looking for trusted technical support in aircraft design and modification – let’s connect.
