Client Spotlight
As part of a full product development effort, SGW Designworks used Virtual Reality Prototyping to show the configuration, shape, and ergonomics in full scale for Aero Specialties’ new JetGo 900 ground power units, which incorporate a diesel hybrid power system. Its leadership bought into the design approach and engineering commenced.
SGW Designworks also developed multiple possible exterior shapes for JetGo 900. The new Tier 4 diesel engine is physically larger and runs hotter than the outgoing model. Defining a beautiful shape that allowed for sufficient cooling and airflow was one of many challenges ovecome in the project, but roughly fourteen months after the start of project, production units were ready for sale. JetGo 900 is now launched, and is generating revenue for Aero Specialties.
