Engineering judgement from inside the programmes that built it.
Pythias Numerics is a London-headquartered aerospace and environmental engineering consultancy, with a secondary presence in Abu Dhabi, delivering computational engineering services regionally and globally.
Founder & Technical Director
Abdul Rampurawala leads Pythias Numerics with nearly 30 years of aerospace engineering experience, including senior technical roles at Airbus (UK and France), BAE Systems, and Turkish Aerospace, spanning both commercial and military aircraft programmes.
That programme background — not just software licences — is what shapes how Pythias approaches a problem: methods are chosen for what a deliverable actually needs to prove, and validated against real test data before they reach a client.
