WHAT FSD CAN DO FOR YOU

DELIVERING THE BEST SYSTEM AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICE

As a value-added partner, we’ve developed processes that ensure our fuel and inerting systems come to market faster and more affordably. These include:

• A Stage-Gate™ lean process procedure that offers the benefits of single-piece flow and statistical process control
• A total life-cycle tool that reduces both time and risk in program development
• Global outsourcing, saving you money through our worldwide network of subcontractors

WINOVATION

We call it Winovation.  You might call it listening to the customer.  Either way, this proprietary business process has been designed to drive the development and commercialization of new products that fulfill unmet customer needs.   Based on the principles of Stage-Gate™, Winovation shepherds new ideas through five distinct stages — concept, feasibility, development, qualification/pre-production, and launch — allowing us to provide you with only the most commercially viable new ideas.

FAST-TRACKING PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

By initiating product design using 3D tools right from the start, we’re able to bring products from specification through testing and validation much faster.  In fact, we are on track to cut development time on some programs by as much as 20 percent.

A NEW TOOL FOR TIGHTER TIME FRAMES

In order to optimize all components for size, weight, and reliability, we input all pump performance parameters and then run the models at different input speeds, temperatures, and inlet pressures to simulate the engine (or gearbox) flight cycle.

OUR TESTING CAPABILITIES

Our extensive on-site testing capabilities duplicate actual operating conditions.  By providing a thorough evaluation of fuel system and component performance under temperature, vibration, and altitude extremes, we engineer products that withstand the harshest environments, reduce development cycle time, and ensure reliability at entry into service.

Executed at high or low temperatures using a wide range of fuels and varying altitude conditions, our full-scale wing testing covers refuel/defuel, icing, venting, and pitch and roll.

With test facilities that provide control up to 3,000 Hz and capabilities that include random and sinusoidal vibration and shock, we can duplicate critical high- or low-temperature vibration environments for systems and components that include electromechanical, electronic, pneumatic, fuel, and hydraulic actuators.
