Messring, in cooperation with carbon fiber specialist Wolf Composite Solutions, has developed a new hybrid solution that enables testing of autonomous emergency braking (AEB) systems according to both U.S. and EU procedures.
Cambustion’s DPG, an automated particle filter testing system, can be used to load diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and now gasoline particulate filters (GPFs) with ash over a matter of hours, the company claims. This is a new application of the DPG for studying the effects of ash build-up in particulate filters.
Originally published in 1995, now updated and expanded with new specifications, this seminal work focuses on the development of Allied aircraft engines that helped turn the tide of World War II.
Additional in-house testing capabilities and the hiring of 180 engineers and technicians underscores an ambitious strategy to reach $15B in annual sales by 2020.
Bye Aerospace completed the first flight of its solar electric technology demonstrator prototype. The first flight – on August 20 – and subsequent flight tests occurred at Northern Colorado Regional Airport and will provide crucial flight data required for the development of Bye Aerospace’s “StratoAirNet” and “Solesa” families of medium-altitude aircraft systems.
Imetrum’s precision, noncontact 3D measurement system, the Precision Displacement Tracker, slashes setup times and provides richer data sets without compromising measurement resolution or sampling speed.
Ram’s official move to adopt the SAE J2807 towing standard for validating all three (1500, 2500, and 3500) of its pickup weight classes raises the competitive bar for the industry's other pickup players. Meanwhile, Ford has engineered its latest F-450 with half the GCVW capability of a Class-8 tractor-trailer.
