Re:Build Answer Engineering: Keep It Simple

Re:Build Answer Engineering was founded in 2012 by a small team of aerospace experts to solve complex technical challenges in the aviation and aerospace industry.

The philosophy behind the business of Re:Build Answer Engineering is simple: provide people with a great work environment, prioritize their needs, and take on demanding projects that allow the team to demonstrate its commitment to engineering excellence and continued learning. This approach was developed intentionally to amplify the culture we’ve created and to inspire the finest engineering results for our customers. We believe that people do their best work when they love what they do, and our engineers’ passion and enthusiasm for their work is evident in the results they achieve. We also believe that diversity matters. Having a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives continually challenges standards and forces us to learn new ways of thinking about problems.

Aerospace Development

Our core competencies include advanced engineering, aerospace structural design & analysis, battery pack design services, landing gear development, aeroelastic analysis services, tailored custom rotor blade design services, computational fluid dynamics, and prototyping & testing

Said a different way… We assist in developing aerospace programs by optimizing both the vehicle and structure to align with the specific mission requirements. From there, we are able to manage the building and testing, while also guiding you through the certification process.

We can accelerate a project timeline from concept through production and certification by leveraging the depth of experience we have gained from working on a variety of development programs—from the electrification of aviation and Urban Air Mobility to commercial space travel and satellite communications. Re:Build Answer Engineering has worked with more than 70 customers, been integral contributors in 25 vehicles’ first flights, and guided 12 vehicles through full certifications for the U.S. Military and Federal Aviation Authority. We participate frequently in subscale proof-of-concept exercises from initial configuration through preliminary design, prototyping, and testing. We are proud to be playing a critical role in the future of air and space transportation and connectivity. 

Collaboration is Fundamental

The Re:Build Answer Engineering team thrives on collaboration, and our floor plan was designed to promote cross-functional engagement and enhance our ability to work together. Our office space is open, which establishes a foundation of transparency and open communication. There are several communal working areas where small teams of engineers gather to chat, whiteboard, and brainstorm about customer challenges and how we can solve them. Our unique blend of office and shop space facilitates design, analysis, and build-and-test capabilities under one roof. Those full-life-cycle projects are our favorites; they incorporate all facets of our expertise and showcase our ability to progress quickly, manage realistic constraints, and bring a solution to life.

Building the Future Together

Prototyping: We’re expanding our prototyping capabilities with a strategic focus on rapidly delivering complex metallic and composite parts. This enhanced capability not only strengthens our ability to serve our current clients, but also opens up new opportunities for us to work on additional projects. By positioning ourselves as development partners, we aim to close the loop from design through fabrication and testing. The industry is in need of a partner who can deliver end-to-end solutions—and we’re excited about the opportunity to fill that need.

UAV Development: With growing demand and activity in the UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) space across both commercial and military sectors, we’re perfectly positioned to showcase our expertise. We specialize in optimizing vehicles for specific mission profiles, and from there, we can design, analyze, build, and test custom configurations. Our goal is to prove our ability to support the UAV industry at every stage—from conceptual design to full-scale production.

At Re:Build Answer Engineering, we’re not just designing and building aerospace solutions—we’re shaping the future of air and space transportation. Our comprehensive approach enables us to deliver cutting-edge, mission-specific solutions faster and more efficiently. By leveraging our extensive experience across a wide range of industries, we are well-equipped to tackle the challenges of tomorrow’s aerospace programs. Whether it’s through collaboration, prototyping, or full-life-cycle project management, we are committed to being a trusted partner that drives progress and innovation. Together, we can build the future of aerospace—one solution at a time.
