military, aerospace and industrial markets.
" What I want to talk to you about today with a new
product, it's really looking at the synergies between both
companies " under the Maverick Investment umbrella, Ingram
told attendees. " So many things across your aircraft, whether
it's defense or civil, needs an embedded control system. "
Ingram presented a chart to attendees, which gave examples
of products from Shadin and ECE, ranging from a relatively
simple device controlling the heating and cooling of an
airliner's first-class seat to a full-authority digital engine
control for a turbine engine.
" We do the engine controls for an APU for a landbased
product, " Ingram said. " We do a hypersonic missile,
controlling the different propulsion stages. We've also done
embedded controllers for
measuring the pressure
on struts, to determine the
overall weight and center
of gravity of a vehicle.
This platform is a 70-to80%
solution, with a Simulink API interface, that allows you to
save costs and save time on your new development.
" If you have an electro-mechanical system and you need
an embedded control, come talk to us. If you have a group of
system engineers and don't want to hire a bunch of software
engineers, come talk to us. "

Texas Aerospace Technologies
Abilene-based Texas Aerospace Technologies, a
subsidiary of Texas Aerospace Services, announced the
launch of its TXA201 Tri-Axial Accelerometer. The new
TXA201 utilizes next-generation MEMS technologies -
micro-electromechanical systems, tiny integrated devices
combining mechanical and electrical components - to convert
gravitational and inertial forces into DC voltage output for
each of the three axis requirements (lateral, longitudinal and
vertical) for incorporation into flight data recorders and flight
data acquisition units.
The TXA201 is designed as a plug-and-play solution
meeting the ARINC 542A form factor standard and having a
pin-for-pin connector compatible with similar devices, making
installation easy. The TXA201 is designed to meet EUROCAE
ED-112A standards and will be certified to the latest TSOC124c
and rigorous DO-160G standards. The TSO certification
was expected in June 2022, with units available to ship soon
afterward.

Technologies is
excited to launch the
TXA201 Tri-Axial
Accelerometer to our
customers, " Brad
Sutphin, vice president
of Texas Aerospace Technologies, said. " This unit brings
forward new technologies into the accelerometer market for
use with flight data recorders/flight data acquisition units, and
highlights to our customers and partners our commitment to
advancing the safety of flight. "
Texas Aerospace Technologies said it is a solutionbased
company with its primary focus on value-added
distribution, STC development, new product development, and
introductions to the avionics and aviation marketplace. The
company's goal is to provide the best products and services in
the industry while maintaining the highest level of integrity to
all its partners.

Thommen Aircraft Equipment
" Thommen has a long history of delivering highprecision
avionics solutions, starting in 1916 with the
first aircraft chronograph developed for the Swiss Air
Force, " explained Pete Ring, a founding member of Preo
Aerospace, Thommen Aircraft Equipment's exclusive
North American partner. " Today, Thommen is a leading
manufacturer of panel-mounted and remote-mounted
digital air-data computers, with more than 4,000 units
installed worldwide. This morning, we're announcing
Thommen's CRT-to-LCD display upgrade services, aimed
at eliminating obsolescence issues with aging displays.
" There are plenty of good avionics out in the world that
are becoming increasingly more difficult to maintain, due
to the various obsolescence issues, largely based around
the CRT display on the front of the unit. Thommen now
offers an upgrade service that allows for the conversion
from CRT to a
modern LCD,
breathing new life
into the avionics in
the aircraft.
" With our ISO
Class 5-certified
clean room, we
can laminate and
assemble LCD
glass with the
highest Swiss-made
Thommen offers an upgrade service that
allows for the conversion from CRT to LCD.
