AERONAUTICS

Amtech Aeronautical has successfully completed numerous projects on a wide variety of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft types in the Utility, Normal, Commuter, and Transport Categories. We have also worked with organizations to develop special mission aircraft that operate in the Restricted Category. Our customer base is international and includes airframe and avionics OEM's, large aircraft repair and overhaul organizations, corporate operators, aircraft sale and lease organizations, and major airlines.

Many of these projects have involved aerodynamic, structural and system modifications to the aircraft for a special purpose or operation. Examples include the installation of camera ports, magnetometer booms, gas detectors (for pipeline leaks), large external antennas and pods, and other remote sensing, surveillance, military, and police equipment. Other projects have involved the installation of stretchers, medical oxygen systems, and other medical equipment which allow the aircraft to serve as an air ambulance. We also have extensive experience in the installation design approval of avionics systems such as SBAS GPS, flight management systems, flight entertainment systems, ELT's, TAWS, TCAS I / II, Mode S transponders, ADC's, AHRS, flight directors, autopilots, cockpit voice recorders, ADS-B Out, and flight telephones. This experience extends to the installation design and approval of modern fully integrated Electronic Flight Instrument Systems (EFIS).

While much of this work involves the installation design approval of existing equipment, Amtech also has the engineering expertise to design an original item of equipment. This expertise has been utilized in the development of airborne special mission equipment as well as in the design of data acquisition systems that can be used for flight test and for other purposes.
