Thomas W. Deiters Engineering offers professional aerospace structural engineering support services. We provide engineering support for any size and type project, as well as for any maintenance and/or modification issue.
We serve individual aircraft owners and small to mid-sized operators and repair stations. We consult for clients who do not have an engineering support staff and can also coordinate our efforts with clients' personnel. We supply engineering services for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) and design of airframe structures.
We utilize a range of knowledge to deliver our services, including: 1) commercial expertise through our Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Designated Engineering Representative (DER) as a Structures DER credentials and compliance with 14 CFR regulations. For the latest information, please follow the provided link ; 2) defense military experience drawn from our extensive work with manufacturers; 3) Professional Engineer State Licenses; and 4) flying skills being a rated Pilot along with Competition Aerobatics skills.
A notable military project from 44 years ago involved the development, writing, and documentation used in the presentation of the Durability and Damage Tolerance Assessment Methodology and Basic Data for the United States Air Force (USAF). Today, this work is considered foundational to the evaluation as Fracture Analysis or Damage Tolerance.
Notably, we executed Phoenix Air Group's Aeromedical Biological Containment System (ABCS) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC). Design started for this containment system in 2008 under the behest of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), consulting on its structural development, design, and substantiation. The ABCS was initially deployed in endeavors to contain the Ebola virus during the 2014-2015 Ebola breakout. Aircraft used in the ABCS configuration have become known as High Consequence Infectious Diseases (HCID) Transport Aircraft. This was the logical choice as the Personal Protection Equipment Isolation Unit during the COVID-19 Outbreak of late 2019 through May 2023. As of today, it may be the only protection available.

The delegation of this authority to a Consultant DER is an exception and required a special deviation to the orders.
