Software aids development of aircraft systems

TTTech provides generic embedded platform components and tools, which facilitate design of deterministic hard real-time systems.

TTTech Computertechnik has played a part in the successful completion of the power on sequence for the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The company's products and services are used for integration of Hamilton Sundstrand's electric and environmental control systems in the 787.

The power on process demonstrates that the aircraft systems work as expected.

This step has been successfully accomplished using TTTech's design tools, embedded COTS products and platform integration services based on the Time-Triggered Protocol (TTP).

The power on of electric systems in the 787 proves the capabilities of TTP technology and TTTech's products to support complex concurrent engineering and system integration projects in the aerospace domain.

Systems integration is especially important to Hamilton Sundstrand since the company is developing a broad range of subsystems for the Dreamliner.

In addition to its component engineering and manufacturing roles, Hamilton Sundstrand manages the integration and oversees verification testing and certification of the aeroplane power system.

"TTTech's technology and effective teaming with Hamilton Sundstrand have helped yield an improved subsystems integration for the 787 power system", says James Desrochers, Hamilton Sundstrand Chief Engineer, 787 Programme.

TTTech provides generic embedded platform components and tools, which facilitate design of deterministic hard real-time systems, support system integration and concurrent engineering in large teams working at different locations.

Within the scope of this demanding project with Hamilton Sundstrand, TTTech has taken over some system integrator responsibilities with focus on tool-assisted system resource allocation.

This enables a faster time to market and reduces burden on global development teams, which can now focus on application-specific domain.
