Customer Story

N7849Y, LLC

N7849Y LLC provides Business Development, Program Management, Design for Manufacturing and Operations Management for their customers.  Eric Schmidlin, owner of N7849Y LLC found he needed to upgrade to SOLIDWORKS Premium and SOLIDWORKS Simulation Premium to deliver the product design and engineering services his customer’s need.

Their design and engineering services need to offer clients a complete product development solution.  Most want to reduce cycle time, analyze different designs, conceptualize ideas and need help to communicate this in order to improve their products and get to market faster.  SOLIDWORKS helps them achieve their goals.  An example of this is two of Eric’s aviation clients that have reinvented their products.

“One of the key roles of SOLIDWORKS in my business is being able to anyalze designs, being able to visualize the entire design, seeing what still needs to be designed and then being able to finalize the design.”

The Perlan Project:  The Airbus Perlan Mission 2 will design and construct a pressurized glider to soar at 90,000 feet.  This will set a new world altitude record for wing-borne flight.  N7849Y LLC completed the business development for RDD Enterprises, to secure the project.  They also provided program management and drafting services to complete the aircraft construction.
