Piper Aircraft, well-known for its iconic yellow Piper Cub, is a general aviation aircraft manufacturing company headquartered in Vero Beach, Florida where they design and manufacture trainer-class, business, and personal-class aircraft.
On this episode of the Next Generation Design podcast, the host Jennifer Piper talks Michael O’Shea, the Lead Structural Design Engineer of the Product Development IPT at Piper Aircraft. He will be talking about the design and manufacturing processes at Piper Aircraft.
In this episode, he will help us understand his role as a lead structural design engineer and his day-to-day work, which involves a lot of CAD modeling with Siemens NX CAD. You will learn about the design and manufacturing processes at Piper Aircraft and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the aerospace industry and how Piper Aircraft adapted to new demands, including the move towards electric and autonomous aircraft.
