Today fixed ground support systems represent increasingly sophisticated and critical links between commercial aircraft and modern airport terminals. System designs must be flexible enough to accommodate a wide variety of aircraft well into the future, while still being 100 percent effective and reliable. Essential system functions such as aircraft heating and cooling, as well as 400 Hz ground power, must be carried out cost effectively and should meet or exceed short and long term cost savings goals. Ultimately, today systems must succeed in meeting their most basic and paramount objective .... to maximize passenger convenience and comfort.

...Who We Are

AERO Systems Engineering, Inc., (ASE) is a multi-disciplined engineering and design company specializing in the full service planning, design, and construction of today most advanced airport terminal based fixed ground support gate systems. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with branch offices in the Salt Lake City area, ASE is systematically redefining the level of technical expertise and true system understanding being applied to today gate systems across North America.

Recent industry trends have reflected unprecedented airport growth and flight travel. In spite of this growth, competitive pressures have forced fixed ground support equipment manufactures to drop or degrade the level of engineering assistance and consultation previously made available to their customers. This sudden void of available expertise combined with the technical complexity of today fixed ground support equipment has rapidly increased the need for a knowledgeable and unbiased source of technical assistance.

The principals of ASE are committed to being that source. ASE has set out to cost effectively raise the quality of services that the airline and airport market have been accustomed to, while presenting our services and recommendations in an unbiased manner to satisfy the true best interest of our clients.

...The Knowledgeable Source

While many architectural and engineering firms throughout the country are directly involved in the design and implementation of gate systems, the vast majority of those firms inherit their gate system work as a small part of much larger terminal and airport design projects. Often, the strengths of these firms are unrelated to airport gate system technology and, in fact, are geared toward commercial building design or architecture. To keep up with the rapid development of gate system design, tomorrow most effective and successful design teams will have to recruit the expertise of specialists. Why not add that premiere specialist to your team today?

ASE's engineers have over 100 combined years of specific airline/airport design and construction experience with fixed ground support gate systems. Our key engineering specialists have been "hand picked" from across the country in their respective technical areas of expertise to ensure that every consideration concerning design approaches for projects large and small, region by region, are encompassed.

ASE principals and engineers have been directly involved with the design, construction, and/or study of passenger boarding bridges, pre-conditioned air systems, and/or 400 Hz ground power systems for over1800 airport terminal gates worldwide.
