Abstract: Along with most other industries undergoing tremendous changes to match the technical advancements, aviation is also expanding its reach in the supply-chain with dedicated freight logistics. To fulfill such growth, RangeAero is introducing modern VTOL aircrafts suitable for short-haul freight aviation. RangeAero's Range series of helicopters offer improved performance and capabilities with added cost-savings. The successful commercialisation of these aircrafts requires modern techniques in development, flight worthiness analysis, and certifications. The techniques utilize frameworks for enhanced simulations, optimized lifecycle performance, and environmental sustainability. The presentation focuses on using modern simulation techniques used in RangeAero's development process, from conceptual design to the flight testing of functional prototypes.
