IS&S ThrustSense Full Regime Autothrottle Programs to be Certified with Additional Capability
October 15 2018 - 12:00PM
Business Wire
Innovative Solutions & Support, Inc. (IS&S) (NASDAQ:
ISSC) will be completing ThrustSense certification of the King Air
early 2019 with additional capability including Vmca Mitigation and
Hot Start Protection. The FAA certified full regime PC-12
autothrottle will also be adding Hot Start protection and In-trail
Spacing to the STC during the same timeframe. In addition, the King
Air and PC-12 ThrustSense Systems provide FADEC like functionality
while providing speed envelope protection easing pilot workload and
increasing situational awareness.
For King Air Vmca Mitigation, ThurstSense continually monitors
multiple engine parameters and will detect the loss of an engine
then computes the amount of rudder authority loss due to the
reduction of airflow over the rudder. It uses this to calculate the
reduction in thrust from the remaining engine to prevent hazardous
yaw. Real-time monitoring of YAW provides additional safety in
engine-out conditions. Hot Start Protection on the King Air and
PC-12 will provide a warning to the pilot of an impending hot start
allowing the pilot to close the Fuel Cut Off Lever to protect the
engine. In-trail spacing will be available on the IS&S PC-12 4D
NexGen Flight Deck equipped with ThrustSense enabling the pilot to
automatically follow an airplane, along its track at a constant
speed/distance as requested by ATC.
The IS&S Autothrottle, ThrustSense, is offered as a
standalone installation integrated with the Company’s Integrated
Stand by Unit (ISU) or with one of its two 4D NexGen Flight Decks.
These 4D Systems will be on display and demonstrated at the NBAA
Convention, Indoor Static 4 from October 16-October 18 in
Orlando.
