Together and with the help of some very large companies, they are going to be shaping the future of electronics aboard smaller aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s this all about, you ask &#8230; Well, today <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rsaerotech.com\/home.html\" target=\"_blank\">RS Aerotech<\/a> announced that they have acquired a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.searey.com\">Progressive Aerodyne Searey LSX<\/a> for testing platform for advanced technologies linked to the 912iS and 915iS <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flyrotax.com\" target=\"_blank\">Rotax aircraft engines<\/a>.&nbsp; Sounds a little techy and interesting?&nbsp; Here are the details:<\/p>\n<p>The Searey will be operated in Florida and the Bahamas with the following objectives:<\/p>\n<p>o As a long-time flight test of Rotax 9 series iS aircraft engine in harsh environment (salt water, water spray, high humidity, high temperatures).<br \/>\no Thanks to Rotax support of this project, the aircraft will be retrofitted with the 915iS as soon as it is available.<br \/>\no Installation of the EMU 912iS\/915iS Engine Management Unit and a Flight Data Acquisition and Recording System.<br \/>\no Worldwide real-time data interface via cockpit-installed technology developed by RS Aerotech.<br \/>\no A data server, operated and maintained by RS Aerotech, will allow unrestricted 24\/7 access to flight data for post processing and engine health monitoring.<br \/>\no Optimize the single lever constant speed propeller for Rotax engines with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mt-propeller.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MT propeller<\/a> by performing the corresponding flight tests.<br \/>\no Promote the 912iS and 915iS engines by showing the advantages of these engines for seaplanes (which have to overcome more drag) and land airplanes.<br \/>\no Generate a substantial amount of flight hours, to establish a long term engine data base and provide the basis to develop a toolset for trend analysis of engine data combined with flight state information.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Stock said they choose the SeaRey LSX because it was a stable and safe platform to work on.&nbsp; The fact that the SeaRey can put down on both land and water (without any fuss) is just and added safety feature.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Yang was enthusiastic about his company&#8217;s involvement on this project.&nbsp; He mentioned that he is committed to building a long term relationship with Rotax.&nbsp; This is important and beneficial for Progressive Aerodyne.&nbsp; We have a very good product and this type of testing will only improve our aircraft in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were grateful to have the CEO of Progressive Aerodyne, Mr. Adam Yang and the principals of RS Aerotech join&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aviation-news","wpcat-13-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rotaxnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rotaxnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rotaxnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rotaxnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rotaxnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1642"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/rotaxnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1642\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1867,"href":"https:\/\/rotaxnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1642\/revisions\/1867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rotaxnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rotaxnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rotaxnews.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
