[ Flight Safety Technologies ]
- Fault-Tolerant Flight Control Syste
The flight demonstration conducted by FHI and University of Tokyo last year will be shown in a display panel.
- Intelligent Auto Co-pilot System
The system can reduce pilot workload by communicating between pilot and automatic flight control devices through control sticks. The system will be demonstrated with a flight simulator in the booth.
- Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) System
A test piece of the SHM system will be exhibited. The system can detect aircraft structural damage on-demand with sensors integrated in aircraft structures.
- Advanced Ice-phobic Surface (AIS)
FHI developed the ice-phobic paint AIS, that can prevent an aircraft surface from icing by its ultra water repellency. The test piece used by wind-tunnel test will be exhibited
