Brake Engineering, ABS/MSC, and Stability (cornering ABS, lift control)
About our Brake Engineering, ABS/MSC, and Stability (cornering ABS, lift control)
Brake, ABS/MSC and Stability Engineering
is fundamental in the advanced design and analysis of braking and dynamic control systems in eVTOL platforms and helicopters. This field integrates knowledge in flight dynamics, inertial control, multibody modeling, and simulation techniques such as CFD and HIL to optimize the implementation of technologies such as cornering ABS and lift-off control. The research delves into the synergy between ABS systems, MSC (stability control system), and aerodynamic response to ensure safe and efficient maneuverability during cornering, also considering the influence of aerodynamics and rotor dynamics in critical scenarios.
Laboratories equipped with HIL/SIL test benches allow real-time evaluation and high-fidelity data acquisition, while vibration, acoustic, and EMC tests ensure robustness against electromagnetic and mechanical disturbances. This environment supports safety traceability in accordance with applicable international regulations, aligning development with aerospace certification standards and ensuring integration into certifiable platforms under regulatory frameworks such as EASA CS-27/29 and FAA Part 27/29. The competencies form critical roles such as systems engineers, aerodynamicists, control and certification specialists, as well as flight safety officers.
Target keywords (naturally occurring in the text): brake engineering, ABS, MSC, cornering ABS, lift-off control, flight dynamics, HIL, applicable regulations, stability, aerospace certification.
