PDFEMBRAER Performs Full Airplane Simulation Using NI HIL Tools
"We selected NI VeriStand for the Legacy 500 Iron Bird because of the breadth of functionality the environment provides out of the box, which significantly reduced our development efforts."
- Guilherme Seelaender,
EMBRAER S.A.
The Challenge:
Performing electronic systems integration testing by connecting the complete electrical system of the aircraft to a simulation of the rest of the plane.
The Solution:
Creating a full aircraft simulator that consists of 21 real-time PXI systems networked together using reflective memory and Ethernet interfaces.
