Aerospace Startup Acceleration Program (ASAP)
Altair believes in those who dare to push the limits of engineering to change the world. That’s why we support startups in their challenging journey towards success through the Aerospace Startup Acceleration Program (ASAP), an acceleration program designed to help startups overcome the aerospace industry’s unique hurdles.
We know that developing, testing, and certifying your minimum viable product (MVP) as soon as possible – without financial trade-offs early on – is a top priority. Market-leading design, simulation, engineering, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics tools can drastically accelerate your journey, reduce risks and costs, and ensure your team makes data-driven decisions quickly.
What Makes ASAP Different?
Altair designed ASAP to meet the unique needs of the aerospace industry. As a startup, every penny counts – and obtaining the right tools can be very costly, requiring you to allocate precious capital on software instead of people. ASAP ensures you’re maximizing your investments across the board.
In addition, many startup programs from other companies have major drawbacks: they often last only a few years, which isn’t enough time for most aviation startups to get off the ground. They can also lock you in with attractive initial offers and then increase prices too soon — regardless of your financial condition.
With Altair, you get flexibility and peace of mind. You can use our solutions along with in-house code, open-source tools, or software from other companies; Altair’s tools are interoperable and easy to connect to other systems.

Unlimited Simulation and Data Analytics Software
Your cost for access to all our design and simulation and data analytics software is a small percentage of your total funding, recalculated annually. This gives your team access to all the software they need, wherever they work. In short, you get the same access to the software trusted by major aerospace organizations around the world.
Unlimited Training
To shorten your team’s learning curve, you also get 24/7/365 access to the Altair Community and support resources. All our resources offer an easy-to-understand interface that gets your team up to speed quickly.
A Long-Term Partnership with No Vendor Lock
We ask you to sign an initial three-year agreement, but you can leave it at any time with no questions or penalties. Choice and trust are the bedrock of all successful partnerships – ASAP ensures you’re always in control.
Global Visibility
When you’re ready to show the world what you’ve built, we can leverage our communication channels to help you get the attention of customers and partners.

Enabling Electric Flight for Everyone with Intelligent Simulation Technologies
Tim Crundwell, Senior Composite Stress Engineer at Vertical Aerospace, presents at the UK Altair Technology Conference 2022.
In late 2021 Vertical Aerospace became a public company, giving us the means to bring our VX4 eVTOL aircraft to market and deliver on our vision of bringing safer, cleaner and quieter air travel to everyone.
The 20th century saw rapid advances in science and technology that transformed how people live beyond all recognition. Urbanisation lifted billions out of poverty; the combustion engine allowed cars to reshape our cities and the aeroplane to bridge continents - bringing people from all over the world closer together.
However, the technologies that powered the last century are choking our progress today. Existing urban infrastructure is creaking. Traffic congestion is becoming unbearable and uneconomic, and air quality is worsening in almost all major cities. Something has to change.
Fortunately, we are on the cusp of something equally transformational through the electrification of flight. In just a few years’ time it will be possible for most people to travel between and through cities in almost-silent, electrically-powered aircraft.
From rotor blades to structural airframe the Altair products have become an essential tool to enable us to design the lightest, stiffest, safest structures possible
Data Science for Engineers: Making Use of Aerospace Telemetry Data
Aerospace companies collect endless amounts of time series data from sensors, systems, and simulations. Engineers can find practical insights in this data with machine learning and AI projects when they know where to look and what to do with that data. Predicting failure in engines, turbo fans, motors, and any moving parts or systems is impossible without the data's starting point.
In this webinar, we discussed the challenges around sifting through available data and transforming it for use in machine learning projects, as well as demonstrated how engineers can complete a motor failure prediction project with raw data in Altair RapidMiner, a full-capability data platform in a no-code environment.
Innovative Drone Propulsion Design using Model-Based Development
To assist Kappa Electronics’ customer with controlling the motor for a new drone design, Altair’s solidThinking Embed was used for high speed simulation of motor electronics and control dynamics to develop a novel method of sensorless field-oriented control.
NASA-JPL Adopts EEvision's Electronic System Visualization to Accelerate Mars and Jupiter Missions
NASA-JPL engineers adopt Altair® EEvision™ electronic system visualization software to help develop their Europa, Psyche, and Mars Sample Return interplanetary space missions. JPL develops complex electrical systems and wire harness designs for its space missions and programs. Capturing requirements and implementing designs for these complex electrical systems is a highly iterative and cyclical process. JPL selected EEvision to help implement a model-based, requirements-driven process to improve the development processes for these missions and future projects.
