I am a mechanical engineer and project leader in aerospace with 25+ years of experience (Ingeniuer-Konstrukteur)

Leading projects
Prepare preliminary and conceptual sizing of the structure
Perform Static Stress Analysis and Fatigue Analysis for the certification of airframe structures
Perform Finite Element Analysis and Internal Loads extraction on finite element model
Perform conventional hand calculations using standard methodologies (Bruhn, Niu, Roark, ESDU, etc.);
Feasibility studies of your concept and consulting. Consulting about potential weak point of your structure and giving recomendations to improve
Implementation of sketch ideas into practical life
Investigation into root causes of in-service problems
Development of full scale stress tests. Interpretation of test results and correlation with FEM analysis
2D drawings and 3D modeling
I aware of full life cycle of an aircraft - from cradle to the grave.
