The preferred partners of the Institute are small and medium sized companies focusing on UAS/RPAS, General Aviation Aircraft or subsystems and components in the GNC domain. In collaboration with these partners, novel approaches and algorithms are developed and implemented in demonstrators and products to provide unique selling points. The main focus of the Institute is to account for the special characteristics of the markets mentioned above in terms of company size, cost structure, weight, volume and energy limitations; besides cost-effective solutions tailored to the market (instead of being transferred from large and military aviation) and lean development processes for safety-critical systems in small teams are required. During AIRTEC 2013, the Institute of Flight System Dynamics and its industry partners will present themselves in a common booth. There, a collection of the joint projects is presented within a Hardware-in-the-loop simulation. A special flight control computer, actuation test benches and a voice driven path generation for autopilots are presented as part of this simulation. Furthermore the booth presents a selection of the unmanned platforms, which are used by the institute and its partners.

ViscoTec - Dosing and Application of Adhesives and Chemicals

ViscoTec moves, meters, handles viscose, structurally sensitive, solid containing fluids volumetrically. We focus on the development and manufacturing of solutions for repeatable, precise conveying, dosing, filling or emptying of highly filled and highly viscose media. ViscoTec covers the entire range from emptying to dosing, including material treatment. All systems can easily be combined and integrated in automated production lines. Particularly in industrial applications with highly complex requirements and sensitive systems, the prerequisite for smooth and reliable production is to ensure optimal adaptation, durability and competent service. Other ViscoTec fields of expertise are systems for conveying, dosing and application of shims and sealants (pic. 1). These key processes in Aerospace contain automated mixing and dosing of 2 component shim or sealing materials to fill them in cartridges for manual application as well as automated processing units that apply the material directly on the aircraft structure. The best results in terms of quality and cost for using variable mixing ratios can be achieved with dosing systems that provide high accuracy in the component quantities to be applied, without cost intensive control mechanisms, combined with time and cost saving software based configuration. The endless piston principle used by ViscoTec has proved to be a very effective technology for flexible and precise adjustment of contain solids, as dot or bead application. This is independent of the viscosity, proportional to the dispensing velocity, in a very precisely reproducible manner. Solutions are available in a wide range of dispensing quantities (from l up to l/min.) The application engineers from ViscoTec Pumpen- u.

Mechanical Component Solutions for a Digital World

In a digital world, mechanical components such as bellows are still a major mechanism used to gather information. The movement of Servometer metal bellows under hydraulic or pneumatic pressure (internal and external), can create the information needed for a system. By sealing a specific volume of fluid within a Servometer electrodeposited nickel bellows, the volumetric thermal expansion characteristic of the fluid is transformed into a precise, measurable, linear movement. Using bellows technology; gauge, barometric and differential pressure as well as temperature can all be compensated. Servometer electrodeposited miniature bellows significantly increase the life of miniature pressure switches, and have been used to increase the accuracy inside capacitive and potentiometric pressure sensors to increase linearity. Servometer bellows and bellows assemblies are designed, manufactured and assembled to the customers exacting specifications. About Servometer Since 1957, Servometer has pioneered the manufacture of electrodeposited miniature metal bellows, bellows assemblies, contact springs, flexible shaft couplings and structurally rigid electroforms. Servometer miniature bellows are used in a variety of critical applications where high reliability and long-term use are required. Servometer has supported customers with quality products and technical service for over 50 years. Their unique, patented electrodeposition process has led Servometer to become the leading supplier of miniature metal bellows manufactured by this method. In 2007, Servometer acquired BellowsTech, Inc. of Ormond Beach, Florida, creating BellowsTech, LLC, a premier manufacturer of metal edge welded bellows and assemblies, encompassing a wide array of alloys and dimensional configurations. The flexibility of material and size of metal welded bellows, as well as application expertise, have led BellowsTech into a diversity of industries including aerospace, medical, test, semiconductor, solar, and oil and gas.

Our innovative vigour is manifested in the expansion of our product portfolio to include laser-melted precision-engineered components. In this technique, the workpiece is built up layer by layer, as the material in powdered form is melted by means of laser radiation. The advantages of metal laser melting are obvious: the option for producing complex geometries, the handling of difficult-to-machine materials, the creation of components within a minimized timeframe with low material wastage. Therefore we both work energy-efficient and sparingly use resources. For the aviation sector, we manufacture housing sections and complex, thin-walled structures for gas turbines in the preproduction stage.

With over 30 years of experience the company is specialized in developing, manufacturing, implementing and integrating training solutions in the field of military and security applications. As part of its activities in the field of complex training systems, e.sigma developed ePilot an UAV integration into controlled airspace catering for civil and military aviation. The increasing role of UAS in civil and military aviation drives scientific and commercial interests to extend the advantages of flying them in non-segregated airspace. Since UAS offers special features, which are unique in comparison to manned aircraft, the benefit for integration of UAS into civil airspace increases significantly. The routine, efficient and safe integration requires a predictable set of highly automated capabilities of UAS, the most notable is performing many of the major tasks without continuous human control and supervision. At the AIRTEC e.sigma presents the Voice Processing System (VPS). A multi-purpose voice driven interface API which handles voice interactions robustly at rough conditions. In its displayed configuration it controls ATC requests as CPDLC (Controller-pilot data link communications) input

commands and allows steering live plane as well as various planes in simulation. Additionally it offers a configurable textto-speech interface for handling mandatory read backs automatically from ATC requests. VPS is available in 16 different languages and offers a wide range of features to control any application by voice. Visit us at hall 11, stand C112.
