Endevco to Display State-of-the-Art Sensor Technology at Aerospace Testing Expo 2006 in Anaheim, CA
Endevco Corporation, the leader in sensing solutions for demanding vibration, shock and pressure applications, will showcase a wide range of its most popular products in booth #1404 at the Aerospace Testing Expo to be held Nov. 14-16 at the Anaheim (CA) Convention Center.
Endevco recently announced delivery of the first ship set of sensors for the F-35 Lightning II flight test program to Lockheed Martin. Endevco sensors will take flight aboard the first F-35 test aircraft which recently debuted to the public and was named Lightning II at Lockheed Martin's assembly facility in Ft. Worth. Endevco will be providing a suite of high performance, high accuracy accelerometers and mission critical pressure sensor microphones for the F-35 flight test program.
Featured at the Endevco exhibit will be the recently announced Model 71 series of subminiature SMT piezoresistive accelerometers with a rugged, undamped design for shock measurements from 6,000 to 60,000g and sensitivities from 3 to 30 uV/g. The low mass, extremely small size and unique construction of the sensing element blends an exceptionally high resonant frequency with characteristics such as low output impedance, high over-range and zero damping for no phase shift. The high resonant frequency of these sensors permits their survival in the presence of the high frequency components in a shock pulse that would shatter the seismic system of lower quality accelerometers. They respond accurately to the fast-rise-time, short-duration shock events typical of munitions fusing, kinetic impact testing and high shock component test applications. And they permit integration of the acceleration data to obtain velocity and displacement measurements.
From single-engine aircraft to the space shuttle to the latest in fighter aircraft, Endevco has set the industry standard and achieved an impressive list of "firsts" in flight testing and inertial measurement for the most advanced aerospace vehicles as well as for vehicle dynamics studies. Designed and specified for the extremes of flight test environments, these dynamic instruments include a complete line of accelerometers, microphones, airborne amplifiers and pressure transducers.
Applications include wind tunnel testing, satellite communications systems, ground terminals, launch technology, turbine helicopters, remote sensing vehicles, spacecraft simulation systems, pyrotechnic rocket stage separation, weapons testing and underwater explosions, and missile penetration studies.
