WINGACCS - Wing Dynamics Acceleration Sensor
Overview
Objectives:
The project aimed to design and test a MEMS based accelerometer for wing structure active control and health monitoring. The key requirements were: full scale of ±10 g; bandwidth >200 Hz; 1 year composite stability: Bias:1.5 mg and SF: 1500 ppm; vibration rectification: 25 µg/g2; noise: 100’000 accelerometers /year in the ISO9001 and 14001 certified MEMS fab, assembly and test facilities. Colibrys has a large accelerometer background IP and will manufacture the resulting accelerometers. This project contributed to establishing a European, MEMS based, ITAR free, accelerometer supply that will profit European aeronautics, defence, and instrumentation industries.
