Propulsion Design & Analysis

Custom Propulsion System Design and Analysis

Some aerospace programs call for more than off-the-shelf solutions – they demand propulsion systems engineered from the ground up to meet unique performance, integration, and mission requirements. At Fabexco, we specialize in the design, simulation, and optimization of bespoke propulsion systems and components for advanced aerospace applications.

Our team supports everything from early concept studies to detailed design and integration – with a focus on coupling aerodynamic, thermal, structural, acoustic, and electrical performance into a unified solution.

Our expertise includes:

• Fan Design and Optimization: Custom axial fans tailored for thrust, efficiency, acoustics, and manufacturability – including acoustic modeling for early-stage noise estimation and low-noise integration
• Ducted and Unducted Fans: Optimized for electric VTOL, urban air mobility, and novel propulsion architectures
• Axial and Centrifugal Compressors: Designed across fidelity levels to match program maturity and performance needs
• Preliminary Cycle Design: Thermodynamic and component-level analysis for turbine-based propulsion systems
• Integrated Electromotor Systems: See our Electrical Machinery Design section for high-efficiency electric motor-driven propulsion
• Inlet & Nozzle Flow Integration: Shaped for minimal distortion, efficient mixing, and performance-balanced acoustic output
• Transient & Off-Design Analysis: Performance under varying altitude, speed, load, and emergency conditions, including inoperative engine

We deliver tailored design packages that support development, validation, and integration phases – enabling rapid iteration with traceable results.

Typical deliverables include:

• Rotating machinery geometry engineered for peak aerodynamic and acoustic performance
• Propulsion system performance maps and databases – covering thrust, efficiency, emissions, and noise predictions
• Documentation and reporting for trade studies, design reviews, and system integration

Whether you’re developing a quiet, high-performance air mobility system or refining a UAV propulsion module, we deliver custom-engineered solutions that meet your performance targets – without compromise.
