Heron Engineering is a SME based in Athens, Greece, which provides engineering services in the aerospace domain – from on-going development projects to R&D projects. The main activity of the company is the analysis of structures (stress analysis), using finite elements and analytical calculations (“hand” calculations), and design of equipment. We use advanced design and analysis techniques, derived from our expertise in the Aerospace sector, to provide our customers with smart, innovative solutions. We follow new projects from the preliminary design phase to experimental tests, suggesting a mixed approach able to minimise development time and costs. The core staff of HERON consists of engineers with industrial and academic experience in the areas of Computational Structural Mechanics.
