Curtiss-Wright is using the Singapore show to showcase a new-generation flight recorder that can store 25h of cockpit audio recordings, meeting a mandate for commercial aircraft set to take effect in 2021.

Fortress combines Cockpit Voice Recorder, Flight Data Recorder, DataLink Recorder, and Airborne Image Recorder in a single unit, bringing COTS-based Usage Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance solutions to the Avionics Market.

New commercial and military aircraft production is preceded by extensive flight tests to prove the performance of the aircraft and its sub-systems.

The company’s Aerospace Instrumentation group presented its system-level flight test instrumentation (FTI) to hundreds of delegates at this year’s show.
