Sensata Technologies revealed today that it has created a new fly-by-wire joystick control system for electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, and it has given prototypes to several sophisticated air mobility firms.
In aviation, an inceptor is a device that gives input to the computer controlling the aircraft. Active inceptors provide power to the system , while passive inceptors provide signals that the computer uses to determine what the pilot is doing . Sensata’s new inceptor is the latter kind, allowing for true fly-by-wire control.
“As the industry shifts towards more electric propulsion systems, we are developing solutions that will help aerospace manufacturers meet the challenges of weight, efficiency, and safety,” said Parker. “Sensata is committed to being at the forefront of this rapidly evolving market and we look forward to continued collaboration with our customers as they develop the next generation of aircraft.”
Sensata will showcase its new inceptor at the Farnborough Airshow from July 18-22 in Farnborough, United Kingdom, at Hall 4, Booth 4138.How This Will Help The New Urban Air Mobility Market
