Trace Technologies revolutionary software tool sets new boundaries for Commercial Aviation
The use of optical fibre in military aviation has been established for many years and it seems the time is now right for the technology to make the jump to commercial aerospace applications too.
Trace Technologies is coming to the market with its groundbreaking software tool, PISD, at a time when there is a general acceptance that fibre-optically linked systems can provide real advantages in terms of performance and weight-saving for commercial aircraft - and the ability to plan, test and prove fibre-optic cable harness designs both quickly and cost effectively will mean manufacturers can roll out high performance aircraft in a much shorter time than was previously possible.
Trace Technologies provides the solution with PISD because it supports aerospace system engineers with the design and validation of fibre optic cable harnesses. Adoption of PISD provides systems engineers with a tool that:
- 1. Ensures the harness design is right first time, every time
- 2. Automatically determines if the harness design meets the system's power budget
- 3. Automatically determines if the harness design meets the system's bandwidth requirements
- 4. Accurately models attenuation and dispersion of fibre optic signals using advanced ray-tracing techniques
- 5. Provides complete documentation
- 6. Supports the drive to reduce the weight of aircraft and reduce fuel costs
