Compact onboard measuring system for flight tests of small aircraft

Aleksandr Bragin and Artem Lukiyanov

p.74

The SibNIA specialists developed a working model of an automated compact onboard measuring system for the small aircraft in order to eliminate the defects and operating constraints of the onboard measuring systems used earlier. The system allows for shortening time required for flight test preparation, performance and test data processing. Also, this system makes it possible to analyze flight data during an experiment and present the current information immediately in test modes.

Automated control system for the operation of the MAP-2 Unit for ion-plasma coating in vacuum

By Aleksei Bodyagin

p.52

The article describes the control system of a unit for the protective coating for jet aircraft turbineblades.
