Expands Offerings To Other Experimental Planes
RDD Enterprises, LLC announced Monday the company's latest
implementation of the revolutionary Therm-X de-icing system for
experimental aircraft. Therm-X is now in the final development
stages by RDD for the Lancair Legacy line of aircraft.
"We are excited about the application of the Therm-X technology
on yet another Lancair aircraft platform in the Legacy," stated
Mark Mahnke Systems Integration Manager of RDD Enterprises. "The
growth of the technology in the Technologically Advanced Aircraft
environment and the ease-of-implementation has created a broader
market of safety-conscious pilots choosing Therm-X as their
protection for an inadvertent icing encounter."
Dr. Doug Brunner is the Legacy launch customer for the Therm-X
system. "I use my plane for cross country travel in IFR conditions.
Having Therm-X de-ice will give me the ability to better deal with
inadvertent encounters with icing," remarked Brunner, owner of
N241DB.
The use of the latest components provided by Kelly Thermal
Systems, allowed RDD's implementation of Therm-X on the Legacy to
be simpler with an overall lower parts count and electrically more
efficient through newer design switching components and wing heater
coupling.
Therm-X on the Lancair Legacy is the latest in a planned line of
applications RDD plans for experimental aircraft in 2008. That list
includes the development of Therm-X on the Velocity aircraft and
the RV10, along with continued development of the Illumin-X,
Electri-X, Speed Brakes and SOS (Supplemental Oxygen System)
product line.
Therm-X kits for the Lancair Legacy are scheduled to be
available before the end of 2007.
