Continuum Dynamics to Develop a Networked Accelerometer System for Control of Aeroelastic Response for the U.S. Navy (https://lnkd.in/e5uyPhm8) An embeddable/retrofit distributed accelerometer network, configured in a stripline configuration, is under development as a means of extracting aeroelastic response from a flight vehicle for use in damping augmentation and general flight control applications.?The system builds on significant prior work at CDI on similar networked acceleration measurements conducted on rotor blades, and leverages further advancements in reduced power, size, and weight of components with enhanced localized processing of sensor data.?The system includes measurement features not available in conventional fiber-optic based systems, such as the capability for modal rate response estimation, and is not encumbered by the usual additional bulky interface hardware needed for processing optical fiber reflections and refractions for sensor signal extraction. This system will be applicable to a wide range of rotary and fixed wing air vehicles.

CDI at HPC + AI Wall Street 2024 CDI's Senior Director of Business Development, Larry Patterson, was at the 2024 premier event for High Performance Computing and Artificial Intelligence in the financial community earlier this month. Check out this recap and Larry's take on the event at 2:15.

VTOL Innovators in the News Congratulations to both Piasecki Aircraft and Alakai Technologies for being featured on recent covers of Vertical Flight Society's flagship "Vertiflite". We are pleased to be working with both companies and they pioneer innovative VTOL platforms, notably including designs using hydrogen fuel cell (H2FC) propulsion technology. The latest issue has details on the work of both companies in this area.

CDI Goes to the Ballpark - and Honors Longtime Employees CDI staff gathered on June 7 for our third annual spring outing at Mercer County Waterfront Park, home of the Trenton Thunder. It was great night for both weather and baseball - and best of all for employees and their families to gather and take a brief break from a busy year. While the event was enlivened by meetings with important local dignitaries (see pictures), the highlight of the evening was an informal awards ceremony recognizing the contributions of long-serving and hard-working employees; Pavel Danilov, Eddie Dollson, Melissa Kinney, Glen Whitehouse, and Michael Yu were honored for over eighty collective years of service to the company. Congratulations to them all as we continue to celebrate CDI's 45th year in business. Current CDI staff meeting with Boomer, while future staff wrap up a discussion with Cloudman.
