First Flight of Russian Aircraft MC-21 Nexeya supplies avionics integration and simulation tools

Russia United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) successfully completed the maiden flight of their new MC-21- 300 commercial aircraft at Aviation Plant airfield.

Being a modern aircraft, the MC-21 operates with numerous state of the art computer-controlled systems supporting safety-critical flight functions. While this may have been the first time its complex avionics systems have been tested in flight, they have been successfully integrated and tested on the ground thanks to TechSAT’s Avionics Development System ADS2 platform solution.

This ADS2 platform enabled UAC Integration Center to test and validate the full MC-21 avionic suits prior to the first flight. Holistic tests including complex operational scenarios were performed during every phases of the design and development of the program ensuring maximum safety and superior performance of the aircraft. TechSAT (a Nexeya company) is proud to be part of the MC-21 program.

«TechSAT solutions were designed and built on schedule; all test rigs were thus completed on time», says Victor SINITSYN, head of section at the UAC Integration Center. «ADS2 is a powerful, flexible, and stable product, to perform all required tests. ADS2 keeps its promises. ADS2 functionality is 100% reliable. TechSAT teams are open and skilled to meet customer needs».

Marco Häde, TechSAT director of operations : «The key feature of TechSAT’s solutions for MC-21 simulation systems is the integration of all LRUs involved and the cockpit into a real hardware-in-the-loop setup. Collaboration with the UAC Integration Center was particularly trustworthy and extremely constructive».
