Transforming Advanced Air Mobility with ASSIST:
The Future of Autonomous Flight Testing

ASSIST is a powerful tool that leverages both hardware and software to convert rotary and fixed-wing piloted aircraft into autonomous systems. By integrating the system with the X-KIT suite, it provides precise data acquisition, essential for aircraft development and certification. This advanced flight-testing methodology not only improves efficiency but also ensures that each aircraft is thoroughly vetted and ready for certification.

The system’s ability to automate test procedures and provide high-precision data means that developers can focus on refining their designs rather than worrying about testing logistics. With ASSIST, your testing process becomes more accurate, faster, and safer—leading to faster certification and deployment of autonomous aircraft.

When it comes to advanced air mobility, testing needs to be thorough, precise, and safe. ASSIST makes this possible by supporting rigorous ground testing through both software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) capabilities. These features allow developers to simulate high-risk scenarios—such as failure modes and envelope protection systems—before ever taking flight. Such testing, which is difficult or unsafe to replicate in actual flight conditions, is made safe and accessible thanks to ASSIST's powerful integration.

One of the standout features of ASSIST is its tablet- or laptop-based interface, which makes the entire testing process more streamlined. Whether you're on the ground or in the air, ASSIST allows you to control and monitor your test procedures with ease, providing a seamless, automated solution to flight-testing challenges.s

ASSIST doesn’t just automate the flight-testing process—it provides real-time feedback to enhance performance evaluation. During flight tests, the system commands the X-KIT to execute specific test maneuvers while continuously receiving data from the aircraft. This dynamic feedback loop ensures that every maneuver is assessed and refined, allowing engineers to gain immediate insights into how the aircraft performs under different conditions.

By continuously monitoring and adjusting in real time, ASSIST enables teams to make data-driven decisions about mission suitability, system design, and overall aircraft readiness. It’s this level of precision and immediacy that sets ASSIST apart as a game-changer in AAM testing.

The development of autonomous air vehicles is one of the most exciting frontiers in aviation, and ASSIST plays a pivotal role in bringing this future to life. By integrating advanced flight-testing capabilities with real-time data feedback and automation, ASSIST is accelerating the process of testing, certifying, and deploying autonomous aircraft. Whether you’re working on a drone, urban air taxi, or autonomous cargo aircraft, ASSIST ensures that your vehicle is tested to the highest standards.

As the AAM sector evolves, having reliable, efficient, and automated tools like ASSIST will be essential for ensuring that new aircraft meet all necessary safety and performance requirements. This innovation is paving the way for a future where autonomous aircraft can safely take to the skies and operate in the urban environments of tomorrow.

If you’re ready to take your autonomous aircraft testing to the next level, ASSIST is the solution you’ve been waiting for. With its integration of the X-KIT suite, powerful automation, and real-time feedback capabilities, ASSIST streamlines the testing process, ensures safety, and accelerates development. The future of Advanced Air Mobility is just around the corner—let ASSIST guide you on your journey toward making it a reality.
