  • ADI and JetZero Announce Key Demonstrator Milestones

    [ad_1]

    JetZero All-Wing Airplane Demonstrator Project Milestones Achieved

    Applied Dynamics International (ADI), a global leader in aviation innovation, and JetZero, the pioneering company developing the Z4, an all-wing airplane, today announced the successful achievement of key demonstrator milestones.

    JetZero’s Flying Qualities Lab (FQL) has achieved major milestones with the successful integration of pilot controls, including Safran throttle, rudder pedals, flap and speed brake handles; Woodward trim panel; and BAE Systems active control sidesticks. JetZero’s FQL is an advanced test and evaluation platform where pilots and engineers can rapidly develop the flight control laws (CLAW), connected to a physics-based real-time simulation of the full all-wing airplane. As laws are developed in the FQL, they are then transferred to the ITF for the next step in testing.

    JetZero’s Integration Test Facility (ITF) lab has also achieved major milestones with the successful integration of the Thales Flight Control Computers (FCC) hardware and software to the pilot controls, including BAE Systems active control sidesticks, enabling pilot-in-the-loop testing of the flight control system. This represents a critical set of milestones allowing for Z4 interoperability testing of the airplane equipment in a simulated flight environment to proceed, prior to installation in the full-scale demonstrator airplane. JetZero’s ITF is an advanced test and evaluation platform where nearly all of the airplane electrical and electronic systems are installed and taken through exhaustive interoperability and performance testing in a simulated flight environment.

    One of JetZero’s missions is “solving for time.” Through JetZero’s digital engineering and lab strategy, they aim to accelerate development of a Part 25-Transport Category Airplane. JetZero team members have extensive backgrounds at major manufacturers and system suppliers and understand the complexities. The JetZero demonstrator airplane uses proven, qualified components already flying on Part 25 airplanes to reduce risk. The main challenge isn’t individual components, it’s integration. That’s where labs are essential, preventing costly surprises and significantly reducing risk.

    JetZero is using a three-lab approach to decouple systems integration from airframe construction, running both in parallel. This accelerates development by building the airplane while ensuring systems are ready when the airframe is complete. The three labs include: a Flying Qualities Lab, an Integration Test Facility, and an Iron Bird.

    The Air Force has been very supportive and shares the urgency around solving for time. They recognize the barrier of today’s longer development schedules and are pushing to restore the innovation and speed that once defined aerospace, replacing manual, federated processes and tools that slow progress with a digital thread.

    “Many of us entered this field with excitement about building incredible aircraft, but bureaucracy and antiquated tools can dampen that spirit,” said Bethany Davis, Head of Airplane Systems and Labs at JetZero. “That’s why the Air Force emphasizes ‘buying back time’ and strongly supports our digital tools, lab-driven rapid prototyping approach. It’s a strategic move to accelerate critical aerospace capabilities.”

    The partnership between ADI and JetZero came as a result of ADI’s experience developing and deploying industry’s top aerospace and defense digital twin platform and a proven track record accelerating the airplane development journey through flight test and type certification.

    “Traditional aerospace development required experts in one location,” said Scott James, ADI’s president and CEO. “The use of remotely accessible labs, enabled by our ADEPT edge computing platform, changes the calculus. A test engineer in Florida can pilot the simulation-based flight test, while a control systems expert in Montreal and a hydraulics specialist in Michigan work on the same test in real-time, each seeing the data and analytics they need. This real-time collaboration, regardless of location, brings specialized insights together more efficiently than ever.”

    Remote testing helps solve one of the biggest challenges for a commercial OEM: finding and keeping specialized talent. Team members come in for physical tests but can work from anywhere once remote environments are ready. This has helped JetZero build a global operation, with team members across the U.S. and around the world. JetZero’s digital setup gives them access to top talent, no matter where they are, and top talent is what’s required to achieve dramatic innovation in the aviation world.

  • Boom Supersonic Selects Applied Dynamics International for Digital Engineering Software

    Boom Supersonic Selects Applied Dynamics International for Digital Engineering Software

    [ad_1]

    Applied Dynamics International (ADI) is proud to announce it has signed a teaming agreement to collaborate with Boom Supersonic

    Applied Dynamics International, Inc. (ADI) today announced it has signed a teaming agreement to collaborate with Boom Supersonic, the company building Overture, the world’s fastest airliner optimized to run on 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). 

    “ADI is proud to be partnering with Boom Supersonic on its efforts to make the world dramatically more accessible through sustainable supersonic flight,” said Scott James, ADI’s President & CEO. “Overture will transform how we experience the world and connect with each other, and we are excited to play a role in its development.”

    Under the agreement, ADI will design a highly-automated digital engineering and test enterprise for Boom to leverage throughout Overture’s design and development. Boom will also adopt ADI’s ADEPT edge computing software that allows engineers to design and deploy a virtual, physical, and simulation model of Overture.

    ADI’s best-in-industry aircraft Digital Twin platform can be run on an engineer’s laptop for interactive simulated flight test, or for high-volume automated batch testing. Key functions of the aircraft are assessed then later aircraft subsystem supplier simulations and software-in-the-loop models are integrated for virtual aircraft integration and verification testing. 

    “At Boom, we leverage advanced computational tools to bring more efficiency and precision to Overture’s design and development,” said Troy Follak, Boom’s Chief Technology Officer. “ADI’s simulation software is integral to enabling our engineers, suppliers, test pilots, and flight test crew to understand how Overture and its systems will perform well before the aircraft takes to the skies.” 

    As aircraft subsystems are built by Boom’s suppliers, real flight-worthy equipment gets connected to the virtual Overture aircraft for hardware-in-the-loop testing. ADI’s simulation software will then allow engineers and test pilots to virtually fly Overture before conducting a physical flight test, thus reducing risk and development costs. ADI’s ADEPT software is the only commercial Digital Twin platform that has been used to receive FAA flight credit for virtual flights – making the company an ideal partner in the development of the Overture program.
