Aerospace Engineering
Systems Technology started more than fifty years ago with an emphasis on Aerospace Engineering research and development. As the company has evolved over the years, Systems Technology remains an industry leader in aerospace vehicle dynamics, flying qualities, and pilot-vehicle systems for a wide range of vehicle types from fixed wing to rotary wing to lighter-than-air, from commercial to military, from subsonic to hypersonic, and from manned to unmanned systems.
Systems Technology has supported the development of specific vehicles from preliminary design to flight test and has advanced the state-of-the-art in system identification techniques and flight control system design and analysis (see - Systems and Control), flying qualities specifications, human pilot models, and pilot-induced oscillation comprehension and alleviation.
Systems Technology’s research and development in Aerospace Engineering focuses on the following:
