Recently, ACCEL (Tianjin) Flight Simulation System Co., Ltd., an enterprise in Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone, signed a "Strategic Cooperation Memorandum" with Shenzhen Boundary Intelligent Control Technology Co., Ltd. The two parties will conduct strategic cooperation in the new air traffic (IAM) / electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL) industry, and jointly develop a general-purpose flight simulation solution for eVTOL and other models from R&D to operation, including but not limited to hardware In-the-loop simulation platform, R&D simulation cockpit, training simulation solutions, etc.
Founded in 2020, Boundary Intelligent Control is committed to developing flight control systems and autopilot systems that meet civil aviation airworthiness standards, filling the gaps in domestic civil core avionics systems, and improving the ecology of the civil aviation industry. As one of the earliest suppliers engaged in eVTOL flight control and navigation systems in China, Boundary Intelligent Control has launched redundant flight control, navigation and other products and solutions for airworthiness and intelligence, and cooperates with traditional aviation, car companies and star start-ups The company and other OEMs have established in-depth cooperation.
Since its establishment, ACCEL has taken the D-level full-motion flight simulator, a strategic highland of simulation technology, as its business entry point. At present, it has become the first and only domestic narrow-body aircraft company that can serve both Boeing and Airbus. Indigenous training equipment manufacturer that designs, certifies and delivers Class D full flight simulators. Entering a new stage of development, the company is using the strong technical capabilities and industrial practical experience established from the full life cycle development experience of full flight simulators to develop simulation and training solutions (STS) for new industry fields, and has now completed domestic Delivered related products to multiple eVTOL OEMs.
Simulation is an indispensable means of verification and testing in the development of civil aircraft. In the early research and development process, a series of simulation methods can quickly verify the function, performance and reliability of the system, so as to identify, locate and solve problems as early as possible, reduce development risks, reduce development costs, and shorten the development cycle. In the research and development of innovative models such as eVTOL, it is also necessary to explore new topics such as aircraft control modes, SVO, and human-computer interaction solutions by building a simulated cockpit in the experimental environment. After entering the operation stage, the simulated cockpit is an indispensable training equipment for pilot training. The establishment of these simulation environments is inseparable from the support of the flight control system, and the simulation environment can also provide important feedback for the flight control system and help the flight control system to verify and optimize.
The signing of this strategic cooperation shows that the two parties have reached full recognition and mutual trust in terms of technical level, professional ability, and product research and development. based on the strong technical capabilities and industrial practical experience accumulated in the R&D and manufacturing of four D-class full-motion flight simulators in the early stage, this time ACCEL has a first-mover advantage, leading product performance and integration capabilities in the field of eVTOL flight control systems. Smart Control will work together to develop a new generation of aircraft simulation and training solutions. On the day of the signing, the two parties also carried out in-depth exchanges on issues such as multiple technical fields and marketing promotion and reached a lot of consensus. In the future, the two parties will use their respective advantages in the market and product fields to jointly promote the development and cooperation of relevant domestic and foreign markets.
