Sovereign AI Across
Every Aerospace Function

From design engineering to the shop floor, from quality to MRO — aerospace organizations need AI that works within their security perimeter, speaks their language, and meets the rigor their industry demands.

The Challenge

Why Aerospace Is Different

IP & Export Control

ITAR, EAR, and proprietary data can never leave your infrastructure. Cloud AI is a non-starter for most programs.

Zero tolerance for data exfiltration — even inadvertent.

Regulatory Rigor

FAA, EASA, AS9100, NADCAP — every function must produce auditable, traceable outputs or it doesn't ship.

Black-box AI is incompatible with aerospace compliance culture.

Knowledge Drain

40% of the aerospace workforce retires this decade. Tribal knowledge in manufacturing, quality, and engineering is walking out the door.

Not just engineers — machinists, inspectors, and technicians too.

Our Approach

One Platform,
Every Function

Mentis OS provides the secure foundation. Intelligence products plug in for each function — engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, MRO, and more.

Air-gapped, on-premise, ITAR-ready

Runs in your infrastructure — no data ever leaves

Every answer traceable to source

Audit trails for every query, every user, every function

Cross-functional knowledge sharing

Engineering, manufacturing, and quality access one unified knowledge base

User Query

"What were the lessons learned regarding titanium alloy stress corrosion in the Block III landing gear fatigue tests, and do we have any equivalent data for Block IV materials?"

AI Analysis

Based on Analysis Report AR-4402-B3 and Fatigue Study FS-990-L:

  • Block III failures occurred at 95% limit load specifically in saline-mist environments.
  • Recommendation was to switch to Ti-6Al-4V ELI with improved shot-peening spec.

Station 14 • Spar Assembly

What's the torque spec for the Hi-Lok fasteners on the 777 forward spar cap? And do I need wet install?

From SRM 51-40-01 and BAC5010 Rev N:

Torque: 50-70 in-lbs for HL19 (3/16") / 100-125 in-lbs for HL19 (1/4")

SRM 51-40-01 Table 4-2

Wet Install: Yes — PR-1776 Class B sealant required per BAC5010 §6.3

BAC5010 Rev N §6.3.2

Cure: Sealant must cure 24hr min at 77°F before pressure test

PR-1776 TDS §3.4

Reminder: Verify collar seating — collar must be flush ±0.005" per BAC5583 §4.1. Reject criteria: any visible gap between collar and material surface.

Natural Language Q&A

Technicians ask questions like they'd ask a senior colleague. AI answers from work instructions, SRMs, and process specs.

Visual Defect Lookup

Upload a photo of a defect and get matched to accept/reject criteria from the relevant spec instantly.

Smart Checklists

Context-aware checklists that adapt based on part, process, and work order. Highlights critical steps.

Multi-Language

Supports English, Spanish, French, and Mandarin for global manufacturing sites. Native language support.
