After its certification, Teledyne’s Real Time Monitoring Unit will provide COMAC with the hardware and software solutions that will provide data acquisition, aircraft condition monitoring and data recording on the ARJ21.
Teledynbe Controls director marketing and sales Asia-Pacific, Richard Huang, said: “The purpose of the RTMU is to acquire and monitor aircraft parameters. If any of them are outside the norm, it will downlink the reports, via ACARS in real time, so the airline operating the aircraft and/or the manufacturer can take action.
“The Teledyne RTMU also records and downlinks continuous raw data after the aircraft lands via Teledyne’s GroundLink Comm+ systems that are installed on ARJ21s.
The first Teledyne RTMS-equipped ARJ21 is scheduled for delivery in the final quarter of this year. More than 450 of the aircraft type have been ordered by more than 20 customers.
