EVEKTOR, spol. s r. o. (Ltd.) is a design and engineering organisation focused
on the aeronautical and automotive industry. EVE provides complete
development of the products including prototype production and their testing. Its
activities range from design of single parts through automotive design to the design of airplanes. EVE is a
holder of Design Organisation Approval (DOA) according to EASA Part 21, Subpart J. Nowadays, EVE
employs more than 290 professionals in 6 branch offices throughout the Czech Republic and achieved a
turnover of about 15 million euros in 2017. EVE has much experience with using advanced design
techniques and integrated design systems including virtual aircraft prototyping/simulations and concurrent
engineering approaches as well as advanced methods to facilitate remote team collaboration and knowledge
management. In the process of development, EVE uses 3D CAD systems including CATIA V5,
Pro/Engineer and others. For stress analysis EVE uses method of finite elements (pre-processing in systems
ANSA, FEMAP, PATRAN, ANSYS), systems for linear and non-linear analyses MSC/NASTRAN,
ANSYS, MARC. For aerodynamic analyses, the CFD codes Star CCM+ and OpenFOAM (together with
ANSA, and EnSight for pre- and post-processing) are used. Moreover, its own in-house codes for airplane
load, performance, control and stability analyses were developed and used. EVE’s rapid prototyping
workshop uses a group of technologies for the rapid production of parts that are fully functional and with
their mechanical properties are very similar to the final product, which they can even replace. These
technologies, also widely used in EVE, include vacuum casting technology and 3D printing by FDM
technology.
EVE is a WP7 leader as well as the leader in the following tasks: T1.1 Definition of overall system design and T1.6 Definition of Technology Assessment within WP1 and T7.1 Technology Impact Assessment in WP7. EVE will contribute also into the many other tasks in the work packages WP2, WP3, WP4, WP5 and WP6. Within these tasks, EVE cooperates in the field of CEM and thermal analyses and contributes to the solutions of the tasks from airframer’s position (EMI and human exposition limits, airborne equipment integration, safety and trade-off analyses, optimizations, requirement specification, etc. EVE’s electric aircraft SportStar EPOS77 will be provided to the EASIER consortium as a flight
demonstrator.
