Founded in 2018 and headquartered in the city of Berg in the Starnberg district of Bavaria, Germany, RS Flight Systems GmbH is an aviation technology concern offering flight testing, flight data acquisition, and noise certificate services. The company’s product portfolio comprises the Anemoi real-time wind indication system for glider pilots, Engine Management Units (EMU), System Control Units (SCU), and a Single Lever Power Control (SLPC) system for Rotax’s 912iS and 915iS engines.
RS Flight Systems’s 9xiS EMU is a state-of-the-art device that connects directly to the CANaerospace network buses of Rotax Engine Control Units (ECUs). The 9xiS EMU is fully-redundant, and displays all engine sensor data on a bright, easy-to-read cockpit screen.
An option germane to the company’s 9xiS EMU and 9iS SCU, RS Flight Systems’s Single Lever Power Control (SLPC) affords owners and operators of Rotax 912iS and 915iS-powered aircraft automatic real-time in-flight propeller pitch adjustment. The system is compatible, also, with fixed-pitch propeller installations—significantly enhancing the performance and efficiency of such.
RS Flight Systems’s SLPC leaves the OEM link between the host aircraft’s throttle-lever and Rotax engine’s induction system untouched. ECU engine data is routed to the EMU (or SCU), which in turn controls the propeller governor, adjusting propeller blade pitch to RPMs computed as functions of engine and ambient parameters. The system optimizes thrust and minimizes drag across the entirety of the takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, and landing regimes, and features redundant CANaerospace bus lanes, closed-loop RPM control, backup battery power, mechanical propeller pitch limits, and aviation standard wiring.
RS Flight Systems’s SLPC is EASA certified for use in CS23 aircraft, and is customizable for fixed-wing, STOL, and rotary-wing aircraft.
Aircraft equipped with RS Flight Systems’s EMUs (or SCUs) and SLPC system deliver better performance, higher efficiency, and lower complexity than legacy architectures. What’s more, the aforementioned solutions lower pilot workload, are highly fail-safe, and integrate simply with Rotax 912iS and 915iS-powered aircraft.
