The tools include methodologies, design guides, equations and software, and are accompanied by an advisory service that enables engineers to discuss their requirements and data application directly with ESDU staff.
[citation needed] ESDU's engineering staff are assisted and guided in their work by independent committees of specialists drawn from industry and academia worldwide.
To meet this challenge, the government asked the Royal Aeronautical Society to form a Technical Department with the aim of producing easy-to-use design guides, data sheets and analysis methodologies.
This unique philosophy of collaboration allowed the team to assemble a large collection of validated design guides and data sheets for use by the aircraft industry.
In 2023 S&P Global spun off[1] its Engineering Solutions division, which includes ESDU, as a newly formed company called Accuris.
