Today’s commercial aviation operators are looking for cost effective, high-fidelity and stable solutions for visual displays. The brand new Boeing 777 full-flight simulator (FFS) is being manufactured by L-3 Link Simulation & Training UK (L-3 Link UK) at its Crawley, UK facility.

In the last 70 years, Brüel & Kjær systems have measured sound on the International Space Station and ensured all of NASA‘s Mars rovers survived the journey there. Our accelerometers have turned the Golden Gate Bridge into a giant harp and helped maintain hydroelectric generators around the world, while our world-leading microphones and hydrophones have investigated everything from submarines off Sweden to the pressure in Boeing’s wind tunn...

Solar powered aircraft are old news. From Solar Impulse supporting one person day and night with nothing but photovoltaics on the wings to the high altitude unmanned aircraft being developed by Boeing to stay aloft in the upper atmosphere for five years on nothing but sunshine, it is all very exciting. However, if we benchmark what is happening with other electric vehicles such as Autonomous Underwater Vehicles AUV, then multiple energy harvestin...

RF Micro Devices today announced it has been awarded a $2.1 million contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to enhance the thermal efficiency of gallium nitride (GaN) circuits used in high power radar and other military systems.

The automotive industry is at a time of total change with every component and subsystem subject to radical and rapid change. Consider urban buses. Only a five years ago, almost all of these were powered by very old internal combustion engine technology. Then came the hybrids, with 600 being introduced in London at the present. These used nickel metal hydride batteries then some used lithium-ion batteries to provide a plug-in option. However, thes...

Green Hills Software has announced that its optimising compilers for ARM Architecture were used by Freescale for published EEMBC CoreMark scores on the Freescale Kinetis K70 90nm microprocessor based on the ARM Cortex-M4. The Kinetis K70’s CoreMark/MHz score of 3.08, running at 150 MHz out of flash, represents the highest CoreMark scores ever published for a Freescale Kinetis microcontroller and exceeds all other published results for competing...

Ultracapacitors, otherwise known as supercapacitors, have recently become an essential part of the toolkit of designers of aircraft, trains, road vehicles, renewable energy, office equipment and the host of small electronic devices where it all began.

An applications report from FLIR Systems details how the Aerospace Research Group at the University of Manchester are using a FLIR SC655 thermal imaging camera to test models and aircraft components subjected to hypersonic airflows. For the purpose of space exploration and aircraft technologies, researchers are exploring travelling at hypersonic speeds, which entails attaining speeds higher than Mach 5, more than five times the speed of sound.

PEI-Genesis announced that it will add the CINCH MIL-C-26500/BACC45 & 63 product line to its existing interconnection portfolio. This cylindrical connector line will be assembled under PEI-Genesis’ usual 48 hour turnaround promise. The company made its mark in the electronic components and power supply industry by bucking the trend of long lead times. PEI-Genesis strives to reduce customers’ total acquisition cost and lead times, simplify ass...

Green Hills Software, spécialiste mondial des systèmes d’exploitation à haut niveau d’assurance certifiés FAA/EASA et évalués par la NSA, annonce que la toute nouvelle version de base (la version 4) de son système d’exploitation temps réel sécurisé multi niveau INTEGRITY®-178B a été certifiée par le NIAP (National Information Assurance Partnership), initiative du gouvernement américain pilotée par la NSA (National Security A...
