Accelerate aerospace software development with Pictorus' unified model-based development environment.
Leveraging the safety and performance benefits of Rust, Pictorus streamlines the design, simulation, testing and qualified code generation for your most mission-critical aerospace systems.
Traditionally, languages like C/C++ and Ada have dominated aerospace software due to their maturity and established toolchains. However, Rust is rapidly proving itself as not just a viable alternative, but a better choice for developing software that must satisfy the rigorous DO-178C standard. Rust's strong type system, ownership model, and freedom from common memory pitfalls make it uniquely suited for building high-assurance systems with less effort.

Rust’s reputation for safety and performance makes it an attractive choice for projects where reliability is non-negotiable. From memory safety to concurrency guarantees, Rust’s standout features help teams catch errors earlier, reduce the need for exhaustive testing, and gain a level of confidence akin to formal verification—without fully taking on that effort themselves. Simply put, Rust empowers teams to be both more productive and more confident in their code.
Pictorus is purpose-built to simplify compliance with rigorous aerospace safety standards like DO-178C, ARP4754A, ARP4761A, and DO-326A. By providing an integrated environment for model-based design, simulation, verification, and qualified code generation, Pictorus enables aerospace engineering teams to satisfy certification objectives with less effort and greater confidence

Legacy Model-Based Design (MBD) platforms have grown bloated and often rely on costly C++ tools for software safety. In contrast, Pictorus is built with safe, certifiable Rust code, establishing a robust model-based infrastructure that reduces testing needs and minimizes the tools required for safe embedded software development.
Pictorus enhances teamwork on embedded software projects with a cloud-based architecture, allowing real-time access, review, and collaboration on the codebase. With features for version control, commenting, and task management, teams can stay aligned and productive, whether working with internal developers, external vendors, or government stakeholders.

Pictorus is a cloud-native software built for teams and scale. Unlike traditional desktop software, Pictorus can achieve parallelization unlike anything available today. Whether you need to run a million Monte Carlos or thousands of test cases on your software, you can get results in mins instead of weeks with no setup or installation.
The fly day really showed off how powerful this software development paradigm can be. We didn't need to take the plane apart, or run any wires to it to update software. We didn't need a special laptop with special update software to iterate, we just got online and Pictorus handled it for us.

The slow demise of the engineering toolbox everyone loved to hate at University. Fewer and fewer recent grads and new startups are embracing the old toolchain. So what the heck happened? How did "MATLAB" become such a dirty word in startup engineering?
