OC Robotics Snake-Arm Robots Steer Aircraft Assembly in a New Direction
OC Robotics has achieved the first major milestone for a snake-arm robot designed for assembly and inspection tasks within aircraft wings – an area previously inaccessible to automation. OC Robotics has completed build and initial testing of a demonstration snake-arm robot capable of sealing, swaging and inspection inside a mock-up of a rib bay. The robot is due to begin an intensive programme of trials in the near future.

Have You Ever Thought About Using Airplane Advertising?
So, how many times have you tried advertising for your company or product in the formal way as all the advertisers do? What real profit do you get from it? Did that advertisement on some website named "you are the 9999th visitor, you won the prize, click here to claim" work? Surely this is not the case. Now all those old techniques of advertising are dying a slow death. Now there is a new dimension in advertising to catch the attention of your customers.

RFT Systems (Aerospace) Limited Develop Aircraft Cabin Conditioning Mathematical Model
RFT Systems have developed a mathematical model to accurately predict temperatures within aircraft cabins and other airbourne enclosures such as pods and UAV's for all worldwide environments.
Increasing Rates of Climb in Fighter Aircraft Like the New Joint force Strike Fighter
We know from studying aircraft like the F-8 Crusader, in which my dad had the fortunate to fly while in the US Navy stationed in Puerto Rico, that when the wind was tilted upward on the aircraft that it had a lower takeoff speed and much higher initial rates of climb. At which point the wing came back to position and it was a pencil shaped rocket with wings.
United Nations Food Drops from Cargo Aircraft Technology Solution
There is a problem with the food delivery to nations with political unrest. The United States, UN and various humanitarian groups with good intentions bring in food for impoverished people during that hour of need, however it is often met by the worst of the humanity.

RFT Systems (Aerospace) Limited Develop Aircraft Cabin Conditioning Mathematical Model

Castle Douglas, Scotland (PRWEB) September 5, 2007 -- RFT Systems (Aerospace) Limited are proud to announce the development of their Aircraft Cabin Conditioning mathematical model.
The model is able to accurately predict the amount of heating and cooling required to maintain the mean cabin temperature at set levels throughout all phases of flight.
Tom Benzie, Engineering Director, said, "The model works in two stages. The first stage sizes the heating and cooling sub systems based on the worst case, steady state, environments that the aircraft is expected to operate in. The second stage is to dynamically model the cabin through typical flight profiles to determine the response required from the system. This then aids the definition of the control logic for the actual Environmental Control System."
The model was recently used in anger, when Farnborough Aircraft Corporation approached RFT to size and specify a development vapour cycle system for their Kestrel prototype aircraft. RFT were able to model the aircraft cabin, size the system and determine the control philosophies within a few weeks. RFT then sourced the equipment, helped arrange shipment and were on hand to answer technical queries during the installation. Amazingly, the entire process took less than 2 months.
The good news is that this model can be adapted to simulate any enclosed environment such as Pods and Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV's), providing a fast and accurate means of determining the temperatures that equipment will be exposed to.
RFT Systems (Aerospace) Limited is a Systems Engineering Consultancy, specialising in Aerospace Mechanical Systems and Thermal Analysis. Based in Scotland, RFT provides services world wide and currently lists many top Aerospace Companies as clients.
