This document is a redacted public summary intended for website publication. Detailed CFD/FEA model inputs, boundary conditions, meshing strategy, solver settings, and appendices are intentionally withheld to protect Air Vision Systems intellectual property.

1. Purpose and scope

This public summary provides a high-level overview of a wind loading and structural durability assessment for an ADC12/A383 cast aluminium bracket used with a Starlink Gen 3 clip-in pole adapter assembly. The goal is to evidence engineering diligence while preventing replication of proprietary modelling details.

2. Wind loading basis (public)

A CFD-derived pressure load was used for a 248 km/h wind case, selected with reference to Wellington maximum wind records. The pressure load was then applied in a structural evaluation (FEA) using fixed boundary conditions. Detailed pressure maps, boundary conditions, and solver controls are withheld in this public summary.

3. Durability (fatigue) approach (public)

Fatigue performance was assessed under fully reversed loading to 1.0 x 10^9 cycles using a conservative Soderberg mean-stress correction. This public summary omits S-N data sources, model transfer settings, and full contour ranges.

4. Key outcomes (high-level)

Reported fatigue factor of safety (FOS) was approximately 2 under the stated assumptions and material properties.
Reported wind case basis: 248 km/h.
Methodology: CFD-derived pressure load transferred to FEA for structural response, with conservative fatigue correction (Soderberg).

In plain terms, a fatigue factor of safety of around 2 indicates the structure can withstand roughly twice its fatigue limit, supporting reliable long-term performance under load.

5. Selected figures (redacted)

The figures below illustrate representative analysis outputs. Geometry-revealing views, meshing images, and detailed modelling settings are intentionally excluded.
