Michigan Scientific Corporation’s products play a vital role in airplane testing by enabling accurate measurement, analysis, and validation of various parameters critical to the performance, safety, and efficiency of aircraft. From structural testing to flight simulation, MSC’s instrumentation solutions contribute to advancing airplane design and technology.
Overview
Michigan Scientific has expertise in providing instrumentation for full systems and individual components. This data helps engineers evaluate structural integrity, identify potential weak points, and optimize designs for improved performance and durability. Michigan Scientific can gauge stock components as well as provide load cells to be utilized in the testing of airplane components such as engines, landing gear, and control surfaces. These sensors accurately measure forces and torques applied to the components, aiding in design validation, performance optimization, and reliability testing.
MSC’s slip rings and instrumentation are tested solutions employed in transferring data within aircraft propulsion systems, test benches, and turbines. These products enable the transfer of electrical signals and power between stationary and rotating parts, facilitating accurate data acquisition during aerodynamic testing.
In aerospace environments, where vibrations and electromagnetic interference are common, signal conditioning amplifiers are employed to filter out unwanted noise and interference from sensor signals. MSC amplifiers are commonly used to increase the resolution of the input signal and the signal-to-noise ratio. Often, electrical signals from sensors are too low to process directly, so amplification is required to increase the voltage level for data acquisition.
