Aerospace Test, MRO & UAS

Aerospace Ground Test, Propulsion Test Cells & UAS Telemetry

Multi-channel synchronous vibration, wideband acoustic and avionics-bus data acquisition for engine test cells, hydraulic and flight-control test rigs, wind tunnels, MRO diagnostics and UAS / eVTOL development platforms.

Scope Notice: IGNISFORMA products are intended for ground test, test-cell, MRO and development use. They are not approved for installation on certified aircraft. Flight installations require separate qualification and airworthiness approval.

Propulsion Test Cells

Engine Test-Cell & APU Rotor-Dynamic Diagnostics

Synchronous multi-channel vibration with tachometer-referenced order tracking (N1 / N2) for imbalance, misalignment and bearing-defect harmonics on engine test cells, APU test stands and accessory gearbox rigs. High-temperature engine-mounted points use charge-mode piezoelectric accelerometers through remote charge amplifiers into the IGNISFORMA DAQ; IGFO-100 nodes cover test-cell structures, dynamometers, gearbox and auxiliary equipment within their −40 °C to +80 °C rating.

Target Equipment: Engine test-cell rigs, APU test stands, accessory gearbox and bearing test rigs
Inputs: Charge / IEPE accelerometers, tach (1/rev, N1/N2), temperature
Core Sensors: IGFO-100 Edge AI Node (structure & auxiliary equipment)
Hydraulic & Fuel Test Rigs

Hydraulic Cavitation & Valve-Passing Detection on Test Rigs

Non-intrusive acoustic and vibration monitoring of servo-valves, pumps and accumulators on hydraulic and flight-control test rigs (3000 / 5000 psi systems). Acoustic signatures help identify cavitation onset, seal blow-by and internal valve passing early, complementing pressure and flow instrumentation.

Target Equipment: Servo-valve and actuator test benches, hydraulic pump test stands, iron-bird rigs
Core Sensors: IGFO-AE-100 (Target specs — Q4 2027) (clamp / bonded mount) • Mercury Z1 (Pilot Q1 2027) (inline use subject to fluid-compatibility and pressure qualification)
UAS & Test Computing

Rugged Edge AI Compute for UAS, eVTOL & Test Beds (XTR 315, Launch Q3 2027)

Multi-core edge computer for UAS and eVTOL development platforms, flight-test instrumentation racks and ground telemetry stations. Designed for MIL-STD-810H environmental compliance (vibration, shock, low pressure / altitude, −40 °C to +85 °C), with containerised ML inference (ONNX / TFLite) and MIL-DTL-38999 circular connectors.

Target Equipment: UAS / eVTOL development platforms, flight-test instrumentation racks, ground telemetry stations, propulsion dynamometer test beds
Design Targets: MIL-STD-810H (Methods 500, 501/502, 514, 516) • DO-160G environmental & power (Section 16) and EMC (Sections 20/21) planned
Compute Platform: XTR 315 Multi-Core Edge AI Computer (Launch Q3 2027)
Ground Test & Qualification
