Next-generation engines
Lightweight composite oil reservoirs
Advanced design and material application make these reservoirs 20 percent lighter than titanium and aluminum, and up to 50 percent lighter than stainless steel, resulting in reduced fuel burn and emissions.
Composite reservoirs bring the same positive benefits to virtually anything that flies – including commercial, regional, and business jets. The lighter-weight reservoirs are particularly helpful for larger commercial aircraft where engine oil reservoirs need to accommodate higher fluid volumes. Military aircraft, too, enjoy the same advantages.
The composite fabrication process can yield more complex shapes to fit into unusual envelope contours.
Next generation hydraulic ePump
This innovative hydraulic pump and electric motor package provides 9 percent weight reduction, 44 percent less energy loss, lower total cost of ownership, and a positive impact on the environment.
The ePump is a next generation, integrated hydraulic pump and electric motor package based on the design principle of minimizing total cost of ownership.
The pump technology allows for compact and lightweight construction, while the motor and controller technology uses a new-to-market control concept aimed at reducing heat rejection and increasing service life. An overall 9 percent weight reduction and 44 percent less energy loss compared to current solutions drastically reduces fuel burn, a key driver in total cost of ownership.
ePump technology has the potential to be included in next-generation hydraulic power packs.
Wireless tire pressure gauge
Breakthrough long-range wireless sensing technology, with easy retrofit solution, enables accurate tire pressure reading every time, wherever and whenever needed for improved maintainability and faster return to service. Using wireless communication of non-critical data eliminates the need for signal cabling runs and reduces system weight.
Our breakthrough long-range wireless sensing technology. It allows users to stand in front of the aircraft, open the installed dedicated app on a smartphone or tablet, and instantly read the tire pressure of each wheel.
The tire pressure gauge provides an accurate tire pressure reading every time, wherever and whenever needed, eliminating painful access to the wheel valve stem with a manual pressure gauge.
Our breakthrough long-range wireless technology speeds up aircraft tire pressure checks. Tire pressure monitoring is an essential part of aircraft maintenance, helping to prevent failure events caused by improper tire inflation. Using a wireless system can help to extend tire life, reduce human error and reduce weight, all combining to lower maintenance costs and increase flight safety.
An easy retrofit solution, no calibration or dedicated reader is required, just a smartphone or tablet. Installation, maintenance, and smart phone/tablet configuration are simple, too.
