Inspiring innovation and trusted partnerships across the skies

Astute’s experience in supporting the needs of global leaders in aerospace and aviation, positions us to deliver the very best Hi-Rel electronics design and sourcing solutions, for your civil aircraft application projects.

Our component supply capabilities in the civil aviation arena cover a range of safety and flight-critical technology systems in the cockpit, engines and airframe while cabin interior solutions span a variety of key areas supporting passenger safety and a positive customer experience.

The primary goal of Astute’s rapid component sourcing team is to help carriers and passengers avoid the challenges of Aircraft on Ground (AOG) and ensure aircraft are repaired, serviced, maintained and back in commission as soon as possible.

Designing the future

Aerospace is undergoing a surge in innovation across multiple areas both on the ground in airport passenger management and security and in the air in safety and passenger comfort – all driven by advances in technology applications including AI, predictive maintenance, asset tracking, in-flight connectivity and autonomous systems.
At the macro level, geo-political tensions have affected defence-arena demand in aircraft component supply chains and the need to extend the service life of equipment. In civil aviation, the worldwide race to make every aspect more sustainable is seeing significant leaps forward in everything from electric and hybrid aircraft to passenger flow management and security at airports.
Alongside supply-chain leadership, aerospace innovation support is part of Astute’s DNA. We’ve focused on problem-solving since our earliest days finding obsolete or scarce parts for clients like Boeing and Airbus.
Today, our dedicated E-Design service for design engineers harnesses the expertise of our experienced product managers, expert technical advisors and respected application engineers across interconnect, memory, passive, discrete, power management, wireless and cable assembly, as well as the backing, knowledge and partnership of 70+ franchised component manufacturers.

Working in partnership with your design teams throughout the design cycle, we focus on the detail – introducing new technology, modifying and adapting component needs when necessary and speeding up your innovation cycles and development timescales.

You’ll find us as passionate as you about what you do. And hands-on in design challenges – supporting you through specialist design consultations and workshops to help you fully explore the art of the possible.
