SAFETY BY DESIGN
At Critical FlyTech, we combine safety-first engineering and innovation to improve efficiency and the passenger experience.
RUNWAY CLEAR
Clear for takeoff
Avionics systems
Avionics systems are vital software-driven components in aircraft, controlling and monitoring essential functions for safe and efficient flight operations.
- Embedded/C
- Real-time operating systems
- DO-178C up to DAL-A
Cabin, cargo and connectivity systems
Cabin and Cargo systems are the embedded software foundation essential to every aircraft cabin. By leveraging cutting-edge real-time connectivity, these systems establish a sophisticated information and communication backbone that promotes superior passenger safety and comfort. This integrated capability empowers cabin crew with all the functions required for safe, efficient operations and ensures the flight experience is as pleasant as possible for every passenger.
- Model-based and requirements-based systems engineering
- Embedded/C and C++
- Model-based software development under DO-331
- DO-178C up to DAL-B
Simulation, methods and tools
Driving innovation with advanced simulation methods to support aircraft designers, test engineers, and to train flight and maintenance crews, as well as tools to optimise Airbus programmes and accelerate aerospace excellence.
- C++/Qt
- Rust
- React/Typescript
Demonstrators
With multiple cockpit-oriented R&D demonstrators under development, FlyTech is pushing forward innovative concepts that will define tomorrow’s aviation experience.
- Model-based systems and software engineering
- C++, Python
- PyTorch, CUDA and much more
