AKAER is a Brazilian Company that is activated in the development of structures for aeronautical, space and automotive areas. The company was founded in 1992 and since then it has participated in several important aerospace programs, such as the EMBRAER 170/190 development, the Embraer new regional jet aircraft family. The company is based in São José dos Campos, São Paulo. AKAER is always engaged in providing complete solutions for its costumers, defining the best design configuration and meeting the highest structural performance requirements. For example greatest strength associated to minimum weight, taking into account the manufacturing cost and materiel parameters as guidelines for an optimized product

AKAER success is mainly based on its skilled core team of about 80 senior engineers and aeronautical designers, most of them with over than 15 years of experience in aeronautics. This team leads and manages dedicated teams sized and allocated in accordance with the project needs in order to comply with the customer targets regarding schedule, quality and efficiency.

Additionally, AKAER is intensively uses the most updated engineering and design tools such as MSC, NASTRAN package for structural analysis and optimization, and CATIA V4 and V5 for 2D/3D design, including resources as 3D Digital Mock-up, 4-D Navigator, D'vise and VPM system management.

AKAER is activated in a broad spectrum of high technological services and innovative solutions for the aerospace and automotive markets and it provides to the company’s clients the above services and products:
