I'm seeking a plane owner who would be interested in a system to act like
AFCS on passenger jets. This system has GPS incorporated along with a touch screen, and a LCD read out that provides system status information. The plane that receives this should have some type of 12 volt charging system. (magneto charging is acceptable). There are strings attached to this opportunity. This system will have to go through manned flight testing.That sounds scary , but the system can be easily overridden. It should be noted that there has been a large amount of ground and mobile testing done. But there has not been manned flight testing. Anyone who is interested should note...this system is available to only one person for price of components. They also will receive 10% of any future profit made from this system. Ok.....now the price part. The total price of the parts are $1300.00. The owners aircraft also must be fitted out with control tabs on both ailerons as well as the rudder and elevator. The weight of the finished system should be about 2 - 2.5 lbs. plus any added weight of the trim tabs. To answer your next question, I'm an Automation Programmer and Technician.I have been working on this project for over two years(on my own time). I'm also an accomplished ultralight pilot as well as currently designing an airplane for this system to be installed on for my own. I will provide more detailed information to anyone who is truly interested. The following screens are planned. More may be added with feedback from the user/tester. User input data mode GPS mode (go to a designated grid location) Waypoint mode(follow set waypoints) Compass mode Heading hold mode Airspeed and ground speed mode Flight calibration mode Stall speed set mode Initial test mode Torque calibration mode User setup mode If you are interested. Please email me. James Long propellanttech-at-charter.net please note your have to replace the -at- with @ to email me. I'm avoiding the bots. |
